Had the same in reverse. Bosch factory, Valeo worked fine though.
Remember the old Bosch and Valeo alternators where the brushes were built into the regulator, which cost $15 and came off the back with two screws? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
I had Valeo in my other car, very common for Bosche to overcharge.
Bought a used Valeo alternator, and sure enough, the charging problems went away, and it starts charging as soon as I start the car.
I did see something recently where an aftermarket alternator made by Valeo had the same part number as the Original Toyota part, but in fact had another software part number that made it through an error and not work properly.
Cheapest for me was a new Valeo unit from Rockauto. Cheaper than Turner too.
+1 for Valeo. This job wasn\u2019t fun.
I replaced mine with an oem valeo
Uma pesquisa no auto doc, tens alternadores Valeo entre os 230 e os 350.
Mesmo um Valeo novo está caríssimo, pede mais orçamentos.
