Alternator Bosch or Mitsuboshi

Instead of waiting for it to go bad on me should I order the $200 Bosch one off rockauto now (shipping takes 3-5 days) if I don\u2019t then I\u2019m stuck going and paying for that at a parts store. The Bosch one also comes with a 2 year warranty and roadside assistance if anything goes wrong with it.

I replaced the alternator on a 2013 XC60 T6, which was driven by a coupler. The Bosch unit had a drive pulley (not really a pulley) already attached.

I bought a good-quality Bosch Reman alternator for my 2012 Mazda and it cost me $128+$75 core ($203) from RockAuto.

I got a Bosch reman (listed as Denso)... so far so good.

90% is the alternator: get a reman Bosch. The "squeaky serpentine belt" is actually the bearings inside the alternator on their last legs.

Check alternator voltage should be above 14V at 1500 RPM. Bosch alternators are crap anymore, I bought a new WAI global alternator, it has strong output so far. Only time will tell if it holds up.

Alternator died on a trail and I got a reman Bosch unit (180A) and put a new battery in. I\u2019m getting a load of codes that I\u2019ll drop below, but I\u2019m wondering if you ever figured it out?

It’s either Bosch or Valeo.

the bosch alternators are junk. I had to warranty mine through fcp 3 times for the exact same bs: loud ass whining noise and over volting immediately after instal. Cheap chinese junk.

Bosch has a high failing rate unfortunately not like the good old days.
