Alternator Bosch or Mitsuboshi

I would use the BOSCH from fcpeuro.com without hesitation.

I replaced my alternator two years ago, and I put in a Bosch, and I haven't looked back. It works great and also has a warranty.

Best has been new Bosch or Delco-Romy from jobber stores. Never had one of those fail yet.

I think I put a Bosch 145 on my 01 5.3 and it’s been a non issue

+1 for Denso. Friend of mine got a used Mitsubishi alternator for his Murano with slightly higher Amp rating (doesn't matter, just means it will handle load better).

After that I would pick the Bosch reman. A junk new alternator is going to last a fraction of the time of these 2.

Looks very similar to a Porsche 944 alternator.

I own the exact car, when I bought it, it came with a bad replacement alternator. The replacement was an eBay brand which was causing all sorts of faults. I replaced it with a Bosch unit and the car seemed fine. A few weeks after the replacement, I started getting a random limp mode with various under and over voltage errors. At this point I decided to buy and install a BMW branded alternator. This took care of issue.

I was driving the Mini when the engine began to struggle at idle and then shut off, refusing to restart. The starter engaged but hit a wall of resistance. After getting it home, I found the alternator was completely stuck. The one I replaced was a Bosch. Its bearing had failed catastrophically, and the pulley would not move.

Ive had a few Bosch reman failures lately at my shop as well, although they were for N52s, all bearing noise after about a year.
