Alternator Bosch or OEM Mazda

Ive done it and it turned out awesommmmme

Bosch redesigned the alternator and they seem to last as long as the original factory warranty.

With the motor running, both low beams and high beams on, wiper on, rear brake lights on, heater fan at full speed and the stereo running at a good volume, the alternator provides 57 amps to the car at 13.5 volts.

Yes a VR6 alternator will work on an ABA. But you need to know the difference between a Valeo 90A pulley and a Bosch 90A. They are not interchangeable.

I got mine in and running Perfect for people who need a little more room running ITBs It even charges better than my rebuilt bosch did (hitting 14v)

if you're planning on keeping the car a while then $365 installed is reasonable for a refurbished bosch (use the same mfr & amp that was OE) and that should come w/warantee & last about as long as the original.

yea, just pick up a new one at like autozone, get the bosch one if you can.

Whithin the past year the car has had a new bosch alternator. I jump the car, it makes between 12-13 volts at the battery when running.

non bosch reman alternators are the worst...they rarely last long, so you are having a typical experience changing them out all the time....lifetime warranty is nice with those cause they suck, period.

I bought my Bosch 120aalternator from Autozone because of the warranty and had to use it about 3k into its life when the bearing failed. I also had Bosch reman fail on my Nissan after 1 1/2.
