vs
Alternator OEM Audi or OEM KIA
I had my alternator go out on me at 165,000 KM on my audi S3 2015, got a rebuild for half the price of a brand new one and since it's a rebuild the warranty on it is for 2 years. Paid roughly 500 bucks and 100 for labor.
Pros: rebuild half price, 2 year warranty
Vehicle:
Audi S3
Mileage: 165000 km
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.
Pros: no major issues
Vehicle:
Kia Soul
Just got mine done today. I purchased the car used and was in with Audi chat trying to get the window sticker. They let me know the car had open service action and was for the alternator. Dropped it off and got it back the same day.
Pros: covered by service action
It’s your alternator not the battery, the coding of the battery is important, but will only extend the life battery will not cause it to be dead in three days
Rs6 definitely has an alternator issue. I’m currently at 25k on oem alternator.
Cons: alternator issue
Vehicle:
Audi RS6
Mileage: 25000 km
It went out at 40,000 miles and was replaced without issue by the dealer which provided an A6 as a loaner for the week it took to replace the alternator. I still love the car and would not move to Mercedes
Pros: replaced without issue
Cons: went out at 40000 miles
Vehicle:
Audi S6
Mileage: 40000 km

My Q8 alternator died today. 3 year old car 36k miles on the clock. Luckily I was right next an Audi dealership with a garage when the display panel told me to stop driving and pull over safely. When the mechanics got to the car they couldn\u2019t even start it.
Pros: near Audi dealership
Cons: car wouldn't start
Vehicle:
Audi Q8
Mileage: 57936 km
Mine failed at 55k a couple of weeks ago. A couple months prior to this I had complained to the dealership and showed them all the reports of this issue online... At the time they denied any knowledge of the alternator issue.
Cons: car without alternator
Vehicle:
Audi Q8
Mileage: 55000 km
Audi really dropped the ball on building such a poor performing alternator!
