Reviews of Bosch parts For Business

The wiper blades that came on my car (used) looked a lot like the Bosch A582S AeroTwin set available from many sellers on eBay. Just bought a new set myself, waiting for delivery. Between then and now, I've used Rain-X wipers. An older style didn't fit properly but the Latitude does work and fits properly, though doesn't look as nice as the Bosch set which is actually relatively inexpensive. I would recommend finding the A582S set.

Belated follow up. I replaced the plug at the distributer as the signal from the hall sender was intermittent. Brand new Bosch plugs were had for cheap.

FYI I went with the Bosch 96R. It weights about 34 lbs and fits no problem although I did need to add a small wedge on top of the bottom lip to lock it down with the stock mount. It has a 3 year free replacement warranty and cost me just about $87 OTD @ PepBoys after turning in my $15 core. It's been more than a year and the battery has been rock solid with very little use.

So, after a fun summer and fall of some great worry free driving something came up.... it wouldn't start properly. So naturally I took the battery to advanced auto parts to test it, it worked fine and passed, then tested the starter, and was reading a bit slow, can't quite remember the cranking speed but it was in the low 100's RPM. So after days of having to pop start the car, yes I know.... poor clutch! I got a brand new REMAN Bosch starter, and installed it. For the next two days it started just fine

So I grab a new ignition coil, and a full set (4) of spark plugs. The Pre-gapped BOSCH Iridium plugs were the same price as OEM platinum, so I figured that's fine for me.

After pulling the plugs, Cylinder 1 plug was definitely eroded. The other 3 plugs looked fine, but I might as well replace the lot. The new Ignition Coil went into Cylinder 1 as well, and I started it up.

Check engine light went off, starts up fine, drives fine, idles fine.

oil changed and one new Bosche oil filter later the car now has total oil pressure and runs great.

My Lucas 18ACR (43 Amp) died shortly after I installed a big electric fan (I moved to Texas and felt it was a good idea), so decided to go with a higher output Bosch. I got tired of searching the parts shops (Advance Auto etc.) for a reconditioned Bosch that might or might not fit... In the end, I took my Lucas to an alternator shop and asked for a Bosch that would fit without modifications.

New Bosch installed Thanks for your help. It was in fact the alternator. Had a NEW Bosch installed by M&M Auto/Cycle in Jersey . Mikes the man when it comes to TDI service.

I ran them for awhile in my Passat VR6.They did decent.Burned really well actually. I think when I was running them I only got about 23 MPG.

We got the battery tested - it's fine. Tried tapping the starter, but still no joy.
