Alternator Bosch or OEM Nissan

I just went over 195,000 miles while I've driven it over 26,000 miles this year with the only failures being the original 15 year old Bosch alternator and the spark plugs needing to be replaced.

I bought the Rock Auto Denso (really a Bosch rebuild) and am happy.

Agree with the other guy to have someone else take a look but if it does turn out to need an alternator £553 really is taking the piss. A quick search on PartsInMotion for your car and I see that a replacement alternator can be had for £108 and if you want branded then a Febi one weighs in at £162 and a Bosch one for less than £200

Had one do this on me and it was the alternator.

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.

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.
