Please, genuine alternators are only like $30 more and you won't suffer these issues. And also they last.
A brand new Valeo (439317) alternator is $209 on Rockauto and they can be swapped in an hour or two.
I went and got a Mazda one off of Moss bc I was sick of AutoZone remanned ones blowing up. It's plenty nice for stock electrical load
I then ordered a Valeo from Bimmerworld which arrived seized. Finally ordered the same Valeo from RockAuto (for less money, too) which has been working great so far.
Got some faulty alternators from autozone that were overcharging or undercharging. I just bought an oem reman from mazdaswag, (or any mazda dealership store online). Works fine now.
I thought Valeo was OEM? Cost me like $250 and was a perfect match.
mine is a Valeo alternator and though you are probably correct, this is the original alternator (22 years old) and it will probably get me through another few years at least.
Just a shitty alternator
My 2020 Mazda cx30 has a bad alternator at 47,000 miles. Bought this car about a month and a half ago. Wondering if this is a typical thing for Mazdas alternators to go out fast.
Have been burned by aftermarket alternators. I'll spend the money for an OEM every time.
