Had an 06 accord euro, put 80k on it, sold it at 320k.
Only had alternator and starter motor done in that time.
An Accord Euro with the K24 is such a good car. I had one for a couple of years, the alternator died and that's all that went wrong with it. It had done near 300 when l sold it.
I have a honda crv and it went out today. I ordered the alternator on amazon which cost me about 200.00 and it only takes 1-2:hours.
Generally, it's best to go with new OEM (Honda) parts. My second choice is aftermarket, new or rebuilt parts. That said, in all my years at wrenching I've had great luck with aftermarket from reputable (NAPA, Duralast, etc) stores with good warranties.
Honda uses great parts. They're expensive though. I had to buy the OEM alternator for my CRV from the dealer (because that was the only one I could get in one day) and it was 700 bucks
My 09 just ate its oem alternator also, at 225k miles, but its an EX without VCM. There was some oil in the area but I guess it can’t be from the spool valve listed in the TSB.
Just had my 2008 V6 Accord written off after getting rear ended. It had plenty of power and was relaxing to drive, but was a bit soft when it got twisty - but only Rimutaka Hill/Pahiatua track level twisty, and that was coming from a Legacy GTB.
The equipment level is pretty basic but after 190k I'd only had to replace the power steering pump and alternator, and the only interior wear was on the centre console lid.
I have a 2002 acura el 1.7... battery lite in. Have put 3 aftermarket alternators in it, a new battery. Replaced all grounds, now replaced the ecm. Battery lite still on and car won't charge.
I've had bad luck with aftermarket alternators. Whether I put them on due to customer request, due to price difference or had them come in with issues. Sometimes not charging while still new, or relatively new. Sometimes the charging light on even though it's charging properly.
Spent 300 on an alternator to get the whole car apart just to find out it was the wrong one
