Alternator OEM KIA or OEM BMW

We had a warranty and it paid to have the alternator and starter replaced and I only had to pay the $150 deductible.

2011 Kia soul. 190k miles. No engine oil issues. Use fully synthetic that lasts about 10,000 miles per oil change. The only thing that I replaced twice was the alternator. lol

My alternator went and I never had any lights, just weird electrical gremlins and batteries dying. Replaced it myself, took maybe 2 hours and the part was like $150 after the core return

I Had a 200k mile 2011 Soul and didn't have any major issues. 3k mile oil change, 3-5 yr battery change, some tire change, alternator replaced at 190k.

you dont even need ISTA to figure out the alternator is dead. A fresh and charged batter will sit at 13v, used should always be around 12v. while charging it should be 13v. the fact this is dropping while the car is running suggests a shot alternator right off the bat

This was the only non oe product in my car. When mine went it went . There weren\u2019t any bmw ones available for love nor money at the time. I get 13.8 out of mine as well. Can been fine for 12 months.

Sometimes when u replace the alternator but the battery is bad it'll just fry your new alternator.

We were on our way back from a daytrip when the M3's alternator decided to give up the ghost about 1.5 hours from home.

I ended up getting a new one from BMW after two remans failed with once catastrophically failing and catching fire almost burning up my car.

Garage told me the next day I need a new alternator.
