'06 Euro Alternator

[Bubbs64]

Hi All,
Just had my Euro's 120Klms serviced by Honda and the next day my battery light stays on. I've taken it back and they tell me I need a new alternator, $1300 for a new one.

Apparently, these alternators cannot be repaired, is this true ??

Thanks

1300 for a 'new' one...
better to just get a reconditioned one for a few hundred...

Yeah go re-conditioned or an aftermarket one..

Part Number is 31100-RTA-033

Available NEW from Acura of Peoria (USA). It should be around US$292 plus 'shipping' (as the American say). You need to be careful that they have your delivery address absolutely correct. They have a store on ebay but you'll probably have to contact them to get a quote. While you're at it, confirm the part number.

I also found a remanufactured unit on amazon.com for US$138.13 plus shipping: http://www.amazon.com/Quality-Built-...art/B0031HWEAS

Starter motors are also considerably cheaper in USA; as are most parts for the Euro/TSX. Obviously, Left Hand Drive specific parts don't fit our Euro...

good price..mine went and it was 600 to get reconditioned and fitted.

Was also quoted 1200 by honda for a new one...and thats without fitting.

I got mine aftermarket from a mobile mechanic, include labour for about 500.

Hi All, same situation happened to me for my 06 Accord Euro. Got a quote from HondWorld for 300 plus labour. Don't mind paying a bit of extra a brand new aftermarket. Which mobile mechanic are you referring? Thanks

as everyone has said, dont get a new alternator, biggest rip off

i got a reco including instalation for $445

mine went @ just under 80k kms, so youve gotten good life out of yours lol

My alternator has just gone at 179,000 kms. Appears to be burnt out. So far I am getting outstanding life from all parts (except perhaps tyres).

My alt died at 92000km..

Quoted from dealer $1200

Bought a second hand for 200 bucks off a wrecked cl9 tourer..car has 36000km on the clock

U can change it urself..or racv can do it
