Reviews of Bosch parts For Business

Got it. So am I correct in thinking that these Bosch alternators have both diodes to get to DC and voltage regulators to make it a clean voltage?

When all was said and done replacing the CTS (coolant temperature sensor) solved the issues.

If you are going to go with extended oil changes 10-20k miles you must use a high quality filter and if not a Group 3 Polyalphaolefin (PAO) oil, an actual full synthetic oil would be best. Mobil 1 and Castrol Syntec are not true synthetic they are (PAO) Group 3. Red-Line, Amsoil, and Royal Purple are the common true synthetics. If you paid less than $15-$20 a quart for oil it's not a true synthetic.

Your filter has to be high quality. Even then I would advise you change the filter and top off your oil at 8k-10k miles.

Oil filters that are able to go for extended runs are Wix, Napa Gold, and Bosch. Those are the 3 brands I trust for long term use. My truck with over 170k miles drives like it did over 13 years ago when I got it new.

tested main fuel pump >good, has a new bosch in-tank fuel pump, new spark plugs, new bosch wires, air/fuel filter, new FAE fuel pump relay.

Welp... the alternator AND the battery are dead. New battery is in, now to do the alternator but I need food first. I was amazed that the store had a rebuilt Bosch alternator IN STOCK

i just put on new pads and rotors, front and rear...i bought Bosch Quiet cast and 100 miles in i like them. Shims are molded to the pad and no noise at all. Stop a little better than what ever i had on there before.

My 05' Golf TDI came with a Bosch unit from the factory and lasted about 90k or so, I replaced it with a Bosch Reman and its been doing well, 120k now.

Replaced it with a Bosch and it hasn't stalled at all even when the tank is almost empty. It was the fuel pump all along, can't believe it lasted so long from the first signs of failure(over a year)!

I'm using the OEM Bosch spark plug. I gapped mine to 0.024" as per Bentley and the car seems to run fine.

mine does it too, and ICONs are NOT crap, they are very good (usually) I think the new ones are crap, however. my dad has an 06 VE Jetta with original wipers and they work better than my new ones.
