Alternator OEM Volvo or Mitsuboshi
Reviews
I bought my alternator from RockAuto and the Mitsubishi one **IS** the OEM part
Pros: OEM part, quality belt
Vehicle:
Honda Fit
Mitsubishi made a heap of OEM parts for other brands. Including alternators for Mazda lol. Also various electronic modules too.
Pros: OEM parts for Mazda
Vehicle:
Mazda 323
I know my 2005 S60 alternator has a chip in it that is necessary to talk to the car's ECU so be careful buying aftermarket.
Cons: be careful buying aftermarket
Vehicle:
Volvo S60
Assuming this is a T5 (5cyl) that price is about right for the dealer. I had my alternator replaced under warranty about 2 years ago and the billed price was right about 1350 for just the alt replacement.
Vehicle:
Volvo V60
I tossed in a Mitsubishi 200 amp P71 alternator into an '06 Town Car after the original 6G on it failed. Very good output even at low RPM
Pros: very good output
The 2.4 in my 2006 S40 was stone cold reliable to 157k miles before I sold it. Needed a new alternator at about 145k but that was it. It\u2019s been 2 years and I still miss driving that car. The BEST front seats of any vehicle I\u2019ve driven or ridden in.
Pros: stone cold reliable
Cons: new alternator needed
Vehicle:
Volvo S40
Mileage: 157000 km
My old 04 Volvo Xc90 had 311k on the dash before the alternator gave up lol. Doing better than that!
Pros: high mileage
Vehicle:
Volvo XC90
Mileage: 500499 km
I have a 100A alt from a 900 series and it keeps me powered, but barely. And if I have the stereo loud + headlights and fogs and a/c, I get belt squeal.
Pros: keeps me powered
Cons: belt squeal, barely enough
Vehicle:
Volvo
My then 97 Lancer GSR broke down in the middle of a highway on my way due to alternator and throttle body issues.
Cons: alternator issues
Vehicle:
Mitsubishi Lancer
I got this message when the mechanic replaced my alternator with a non-OEM unit that didn't have a voltage regulator.
Pros: null
Cons: non-OEM unit
Vehicle:
Volvo
