Alternator VALEO or Mitsuboshi

VALEO Alternator

Remember the old Bosch and Valeo alternators where the brushes were built into the regulator, which cost $15 and came off the back with two screws? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Bought a used Valeo alternator, and sure enough, the charging problems went away, and it starts charging as soon as I start the car.

Pros: charging problems resolved, starts charging immediately

VALEO Alternator

I did see something recently where an aftermarket alternator made by Valeo had the same part number as the Original Toyota part, but in fact had another software part number that made it through an error and not work properly.

Cons: software part number error
Vehicle: Toyota

Mitsuboshi Alternator

I have one with 44k miles sitting in the garage right now with a bad TPS and an oil leak. 

The last drive down the street saw me with a dead alternator and blown alternator fuse. Replacing those two resulted in the above surprises afterwards. 

Even replacing the alternator is a half day knuckle busting job assuming you know what you are doing.

Cons: bad TPS, oil leak
Vehicle: Mitsubishi
Mileage: 70811 km
