Alternative to Denso alternator ?
As title. Don't really want a Denso given their poor quality, so is there a better alternative ?

Denso make some alright stuff for Jap vehicles to be fair.
But for these cars, Bosch is the one brand I'd trust for electrical components.

Google could have answered faster than it took to post that.
There is a Bosch one for my car, S40 T5, on eurocar parts for £424, not sure if it's the same unit throughout all the engines though. Could probably get a gen Volvo one for less than that price. EDIT: With MIDMONTH code it drops to £340.

I have been Googling a plenty and it just comes up with Denso or similar basement bargain ones.
It appears Volvo don't do there own as this is the PSA engine. The only Bosch I could find was a reconditioned one and I know it's crucial to get the right amps on these. Thanks

Though you may be right in the Denso being the only offering... To be honest I think many view the alternator as a service item on those engines! My previous 2.0d's popped at around 11 years old!

These alternators seem to have a life of 1K.
I guess if I get 1k from the replacement I'll be driving a dinosaur car :-) Thanks for the reply

Worth noting that alternator specs differ also depending on whether you have heated seats etc..
