Alternator OEM Audi or Bosch

IMO a rebuilt German Bosch unit is far superior to the Chinese alts.

I’m running my a 120amp Bosch but my car is m42 it’s honestly overkill for my setup with aftermarket speakers, amp, and sub.

bosch alternator is better. get a bosch alternator.

Rockauto.com shows reman units, both Bosch and Valeo. As far as interchange with Bosch, I dont know, but worked at the dealer and they always asked if it was Bosch or Veleo because it could not be determined by Vin.

I managed to get a reman Bosch 150a/140a last year from Advance Auto for around $190.

I just replaced the one in my daughter's Mk 4 with a rebuilt 120A Bosch one from Rock Auto last week.

My alternator died in 32k kilometers.. (Audi Japan took care of it so not that bad). Otherwise the 3 lit twin turbo engine is amazing.

I love driving it on the highways, however small roads in Tokyo and small parkings are a bit challenging sometimes but the 4 wheel steering comes handy.

The alternator went out on it, and I had to replace it four times due to faulty over the counter rebuilt Bosch parts.

My audi B5 will absolutely refuse to use anything but OEM for the alternator

supplier willing to give me a Bosch remanufactured alternator (as good faith) to compare. after installation on Bosch, the result is worse than the Denso (output at alternator at 12.5V)
