Starter motor Denso or Duralast
I put in a reman denso starter in my 06 Titan back in 2017. Still working great!
Pros: still working great
Vehicle:
Nissan
Have any of the starters been Denso brand? I thought I remember hearing that for certain models of Japanese cars the starter HAS to be Denso (the OEM manufacturer) or it wont spin fast enough consistently to start the engine.
Pros: Denso spins fast enough
Cons: other brands spin slow
If it’s like the ones over here in the US, it’ll fit but the cable connector is in a slightly different place. I have a Denso Accord starter on my car now.
Pros: it will fit
Cons: cable connector different place
Vehicle:
Honda Accord
The top one is OE Denso. The aftermarket new Chinesium on the bottom. But I’ve heard better things about new Chinesium than reman Mexican.
Pros: better than reman Mexican
I got an Autozone Duralast one for my 09 LX and 2 yrs later after a lot of starts its still going strong.
Pros: still going strong
Vehicle:
Honda
the denso I had before was sealed water tight.
Pros: sealed water tight
I'm probably gonna go with the reman Denso unit from Rockauto.
Pros: reman unit
Vehicle:
Honda S2000
I got a starter from AutoZone (Duralast - remanufactured from Mexico) and installed it myself. Anyway, I got it free, took careful note as to where all the wires were supposed to go and then set about installing the other starter.
Pros: installed it myself
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I needed a starter for my 2013 accord. Couldn't wait for OEM and bought a duralast that lasted 2 months.
Cons: lasted 2 months
Vehicle:
Honda Accord
My 09 Civic’s starter took a dump (was definitely due) around 2020. Don’t remember why but I got a Duralast starter at AutoZone knowing the pain in the ass risks. After replacing the starter I regretted it given how Honda made it somewhat difficult to replace but not impossible. A little over two years now the starter is now giving me issues with click no turn & me having to give it a tap or two.
Cons: click no turn, tap needed
Vehicle:
