Reviews of Bosch parts For Business

I went with Bosch QuietCast rotors and pads . The Akebono pads performed well, but wore out faster than I'd expected. I don't know if the low wear on them caused scoring of the rotors or if it was the calipers not doing a proper job... but I did not detect a loss in brake performance, which was really strange. This was happening to the rear, so maybe the front end brake system was compensating.

My plugs seem to still be running great, only have about 35,000 kms on them.

I got BOSCH AL113M from Adv auto (with a code cost me about 80), then went to tractor supply and got several large washers. I took the pulley off my old alt and put it on the new long-nose alt, stacking washers until it lined up.

Also my rear brakes say Bosch on the center of the pad so mine could be different from yours if yours aren’t showing the brand.

So my just-installed today reman Bosch SR33X turns the light off with a very slight blip to 1200rpm.

I tried Trico and wasn't super happy with them. I didn't feel they fit as well as the OE wipers. They were a bit too loose and made noise, etc. I've been very happy with Bosch AeroTwin. Virtually identical to the OE wipers and the fit was perfect.

I went with the cheaper Bosch unit myself for my M3, and it's been working well for the past 4k miles.

Finally swapped out noisy originals with Bosch Icon 24 OE + Bosch Icon 19 OE. Huge improvement. Why did I put up with the old ones for so long? Note - Icons come in three styles as referenced up thread, A or B versions will not work. The OE Version comes with multiple adapters, out of the box it fits PTB 19mm wiper arms. 2019 Jetta uses 16mm PTB (aka narrow PTB). So just pry the #2 adapter off the blade, click on the #4 adapter, and install on the wiper arm. Voila - silent wipes!

A few days ago I put Bosch Excel+ on my sister's 2006 Corolla and they were like 13 bucks each. It was $30 including tax for both of them.

Personally I've never had any luck with ngk's in any of my vr's always just run Bosch plugs and wires....
