Bosch Alternator pulley

A Bosch alternator doesn't care which Bosch pulley it uses, be it a 70A, 90A, 120A or 150A. The shaft is the same 17mm OD for all of them. What matters is that the pulley matches your belt and application.

Pros: pulley matches belt
Vehicle: Volkswagen
Part number: 021 903 119 D

Bosch Glow plug
8v-of-fury
  • Cold start:
Rating 4.5

From what I understand the afterglow on the Duraterms works because they self regulate voltage per each plug, not allowing them to burn out. It virtually eliminated rough idle on the cold start.

Pros: virtually eliminated rough idle
Vehicle: Volkswagen Jetta

Bosch Glow plug
8v-of-fury
  • Cold start:
Rating 4.0

I have installed these in my 81 and they work very well. Start it up and let the plugs sit on for an additional 30-45 seconds.. pretty much does away with the rough cold starts.

Pros: work very well
Cons: rough cold starts
Vehicle: Volkswagen Jetta
