Alternator OEM KIA or Denso

I own a rio 2013. di ko gets bat marami parin nagsabi ng walang parts available sa kia e nasa shopee lang lahat. madali lang rin ayusin, naka DIY na ako nagpalit ng alternator, clock spring, ignition coils at eps motor. halos lahat ng fix nasa youtube lang.

I have a 2005 XLS and upgraded to the 130a one, no issues at all. I bought a Denso (oem) one on rockauto for $170, sent my old one and got $40 back. The Toyota one (also denso) was like $450. The 130a was actually cheaper than the 100a too. Did it myself in about 3 hours

I’ve used denso remans and not had issues

Please please please, get a remanned or new Denso. Do not buy anything else. You WILL regret it.

Unless you love electrical quirks and replacing alternators, get a Denso.

I ordered a new (reman) denso alternator from RockAuto and also got a replacement alternator belt too. I\u2019m almost done with the job (took out the old alternator, mounted the new one) and it\u2019s been surprisingly easy, just a matter loosening 3-5 bolts and fiddling with a belt.

For the alternator I would only go with a reman denso personally

Denso or straight from a Honda Dealership (Denso). Today's aftermarket and remanufactured parts often leave quite a bit to be desired. You may pay a little more, but legit Honda parts won't let you down like the others.

I had an 08 Rio that I bought used in 2011 barely used. It was good for a couple of years but once things started to go it was one thing after another. Alternator twice, the starter.

Horrible mistake with the aftermarket alternator. You likely will need to redo the job really soon.

As someone pointed out, don't expect the 150 dollar alternator to last that long. I threw on my 4runner a few months back because that's all that was in stock locally and I'm gonna have to replace it again, it's already whining. I'd definitely spend $350 or whatever it is on a denso unit
