Hey Leo my OEM alternator finally died this summer at 185k KM, the bearing was making some subtle whining noise for about a year before it began to smoke and quit on me that day. I replaced it with a remanufactured Denso unit and took me a few hours to replace mainly because my hands were too fat to get the belt back onto the crank pulley in that tight spacing, haha. It's been running fine since the installation, hope the replacement unit doesn't fail before the engine does.
I love how the 4G TL engine bay is literally the same as an honda accord super easy to work on haha
I wish YouTube created a “love” button. Appreciate all your DYI videos, definitely helping a lot of us out.
Did this fix your problems with noise? I always have had problems on cold weather with my speakers becoming very weak and having to turn my volume way up to even hear music. Would this maybe be another symptom of a bad alternator?
Replaced mine a little over a month ago but I went with taking out the fan not too bad of a job
I have a 248,000 miles 2009 Acura TL SH-AWD and it's still going strong. I'm planning to go past 300k
Also, take the fan out! Two bolts on top, two slotted one the bottom. Slides right out.
I've replaced mine like 3 times. Original last until about 80k, next one had a bad bearing and only made it 15k, the one in it now has been good for last 40k plus. Reman dont seem to like the high rpm. Mine does the squeaky noise in the morning when its below 40*.
I assume that the original alternator broke down on 70-80k, a remanufactured one was enough for 40-50k miles
