    Meron dun for several corolla models.


    Edit: link does not work. Basta go to olx and search "alternator corolla".

    the very reputable yock's auto electrical have them.

    although i had my fd2's alternator superbly overhauled by them before, i know they sell replacement alternators too.

    agree. yock's.
    rebuild or kaliwaan-trade-in, if he has your model in stock.
    nung nagpa-repair ako, hinintay ko lang. 1-2 hours.
    brand new corolla alternators are still available. you but have to look at the usual suspects.

    when i had my less common non-toyota repaired years ago, i paid 2.5K. they replaced the electronics and the brushes. prices probably vary, depending on what they have to do or replace.
    perusing olx nowadays, i see what i believe are brand new units (oem or replacement?), advertised for 6.5K.

    Those P6.5K are just replacements sir. Mga 2-3 years masuwerte na din tumagal. The OEM costs P10k UPWARDS afaik.

    in that case, i suggest to TS to just have his oem alternator repaired.
    kung 2-3 years lang ang buhay ng replacement na brand new, i can only imagine the buhay ng repaired replacement alternator.
    tanung nyo si yock's, kung meron silang surplus oem units and parts...
    meron naman silang warranty.
    heh heh.

    Go OEM or rebuilt over those replacements like DENKI. They only last as long as the average Motolite batt. I've had 2 of those copies quit on me barely a year in. No fluke, pure crap.[emoji852]

    I haven't tried any & won't risk to, anymore. I'd opt rebuilds over reps. Having been burnt more than once by the same thing left me indelible scars.[emoji37]

    Most repair shops have Taiwan-made brand-new replacement. They do last as per my experience. After replacement, have the old one repaired for backup/spare. Most of the times its the brush that wears out or a busted regulator and rectifier. Bearings are cheap, and New era IC/Regulator are also cheap.
