After 230k miles on the Honda CRV. The alternator finally gave out and stop recharging. As many of you know, anything OEM from Honda is crazy expensive. But after researching and looking around. I found out there are a lot of Denso made parts on the car. Though the alternator has lost it's decals on the body itself, so I wasn't sure if it's even a factory alternator. But anyways, these one is rebuilt from Denso itself. I'm not sure that was replaced on this alternator but this unit is literally brand new looking and has all the decals with the part number for the vehicle. It spins smoothly with very little resistance. Installation wasn't that easy. It took me a good 2 hours to replace the dead unit. I took several photos of what I did and no, you do not have to remove the radiator to remove the alternator. Just have to remove the two radiator top mount and push it forward to give you more room. This got nothing to do with the build quality. Again, this unit appears brand spanking new and all the connectors even look new. The only issues I have is the lead from the alternator to the battery. They don't include the 10mm nut to secure down the post. So you have to reuse the one that came off the dead alternator. So about 2 hours later, removed the dead unit out and replaced it with this one. Started the vehicle and no more battery light on the dash and took her for a test drive. Every is all good and in fact the car idle has return to normal especially with the A/C turned on.

Denso looks great. Came on time.

This is an OEM remanufactured unit , looks and fit perfectly on my 2007 CRV. Had it on 3 months now seems to be working fine. Will update after 6 months.

like original, direct fit, working good.

So far so good. Denso is a reputable company.
