Weird huh? 2AZ 4 cyl engine, barely run in really. Had it since new, done 70,000kms and the bloody thing stopped charging the battery.
The worst part, being a Nippon Denso unit, I thought, worst case scenario, about $400 New from toyota or $200 from the Autolecky and say $99 to fit because Im lazy with a new belt thrown in. It didnt pan out that way.
Auto Lecky says: "Weird mate, but I cant get parts to repair it, or buy it new from Denso"
Toyota says: "Oh, thats no good. Too bad your out of warranty, as they cost $1293.53 inc GST. Fitment is $296.00 with a free road test and safety check."
I bleed money

Starting to see a lot of this. Ford focus seem to have the same problem from 40 000 onwards have seen 3 so far and they are a genuine unit only as well. Being euro import and lucas from memory they blow out to about 1700 fitted if its outside warranty
