Reviews of Bosch parts For Business

Get a Bosch and skip the brand logo. Same part and available…aaand cheaper. Same issue for me c63s.

Honestly I just use whatever BMW certified oil I can find at a good price. Used Motul this time, had Castrol before that. Bosch oil filter.

Bosch Alternators have 2 posts on them, the big one is for main battery ground, the smaller one is for the exciter or blue wire. When the cars ignition switch is turned on, the Dash light (led and diode) applies 12V+ to the coils to excite them, so the alternator can produce a charge. When the Alternator is producing current and voltage it goes to 13.5-14Volts.

I own a 91’ fj80 land cruiser. I have limited options for OEM stuff these days due to the truck being 30+ years old. I’ve got a CSF radiator in mine because having my OE unit re-cored was $1000+ and the csf was ~450. Toyota new stock, unavailable. I use 555 rod ends and sumo brand rebuild kits, koyo bearings. OE suppliers for toyota without the dealer markup. They’re quick to get here and prices are competitive (i got a guy). As long as its pretty competitive and a known brand, i’ll gladly put aftermarket stuff in my toyota as long as it is of good quality. Rock auto has aisin and denso stuff for these trucks regularly. Been putting bosch brake pads on it since i got it, no issues there.

I have only used Bosch plugs in my cars, and I have not had any issues with them yet.

I put Bosch Icon’s on a week ago and they’ve been great in the rain.

I tried the RainX blades that others here seem to like and they left streaks on my windshield. I normally buy Bosch but wanted to give RainX a try - never again. Bosch Icon are worth the extra cost.

I decided to order the OEM Bosch coil off of FCP Euro. Same issue about a 1/4inch too long. Being kind of annoyed and noticing that they're pretty much identical decided to pull the rubber boot off the old and swap it with the new one.

The car now runs a lot better, however, I think the slight difference in ignition coils is making the car run slightly choppy at high rpms

The rubber may be more stiff than the manufacturer's original wiper blades were. So the spring is not strong enough to keep them against the glass. This is why I never, ever buy Bosch or Trico blade replacements.

My factory blades were crap when I bought the car, I think it sat on the lot to long. So I replaced them with Bosch Icons, but those were cracking in less than 4 months (4K miles), so I’m back on new OEM wipers.
