Alternator Denso or VALEO
I'm thinking about getting a Denso remanufactured unit for my Accord. The price isn't much more than the local auto store brand alternators, but those are notorious for being unreliable.
I installed the Valeo alternator that I got from FCP Euro and everything works now. The rebuilt Valeo was $200 less expensive than the Valeo that O’Reilly’s had in their computer but couldn’t order themselves. Also it was immaculate. It was a true rebuild and looked brand new in every way. It was $400.
Denso is the only reman brand I will use.
I kept driving it and it eventually completely lost voltage. Threw another Denso in there and it’s golden.
Put a Denso rem one from Rock Auto on my 07 and it was great.
Denso alternator for the 1.8L
That’s the OEM alternator without the Honda label on it.
Denso reman from rock auto, youtube the job. Plan for up to 4 hours if you're a first timer.
I recently replaced the alternator on my 99 1MZ Solara (really just a 2 door "sporty" Camry), I went to an alternator/starter rebuild shop and swapped my 24-year old alternator for one they had in stock they'd rebuilt with a Denso core.
Same at Firestone... 1697 for all quoted with denso alternator. The location/labor is what gets you on this one.
It's probably a crap reman one. The aftermarket reman ones that aren't Valeo, Bosch, or Delphi seem to last a year tops before they die.
