Alternator Bosch or Mitsuboshi

Have a look at Rockauto.com

They have Bosch remans in different sizes.

If you go for a bigger output alt, add a fat cable between the output and the battery via the starter terminal, as the two wires that carry current to the battery via the starter terminal will then be undersized. The cable cost is minimal.

Buy the Bosch it's a direct OEM REPLACEMENT alternator it's probably still going to need programmed via vcds to allow the computer to adapt to the voltage change of the new alternator

In your case I would say just buy a new replacement alt from a name brand like Delco Remy or Bosch, none of this parts store rebuilt junk, you'll just be doing the job over again soon.

Bosch, Valeo, or Denso would be my top choices. Don't get a Chinese one. Shit won't last at all.

Bosch makes (made) excellent rebuilt alternators and I’d check them out.

I bought a Bosch alternator at O’Reilly’s for ~ $300 and the gaskets at Autozone for ~ $100 (you can get them cheaper but I needed them quickly)

Car needed an alternator - Golf 1.8 TSI Was told there was nothing available OEM (Bosch) in Canada, and couldn't tell me when one would be available. Was quoted CAD$1800!! + install labor. Found a used OEM one at the scrap yard for CAD$50....

IMHO this is not going to work. The brushes and slide rings lifespans are about the same so IMHO you must replace whole set if you expect this to be a permanent fix. Also, you have to clean the housing from old copper dust and graphite.

I recently had two brand new Bosch remanufactured alternators fail. One after six weeks, and one was bad right out of the box.

My then 97 Lancer GSR broke down in the middle of a highway on my way due to alternator and throttle body issues.
