Alternator OEM Audi or Bosch

I would go Bosch if I had the option. Mine went out on a road trip. I had to go with what option was available at the auto store I was able to limp to. Lucky there was one close by but it was who knows what brand. It was my only option so I bought it. Probably duralast or something but it’s working 2 years later.

I had a car get flooded for 6 months and the Bosh alternator still worked perfectly for another 21 years. Would buy again

Fcp euro has an 100amp bosch one that works well. They have a lifetime warranty too.

Funny enough, I just did this dance today! Found a nearly new looking Bosch unit that someone had already kindly removed from the wrecker's car for me. Got it installed and tested exactly like yours though, so I'm happy.

I used an Audi B6 alternator in my TDi Touareg. I could have repaired it but it was cheap enough to buy. It's an easy job too.

imo take it back and grab a new Bosch from FCPEuro - https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/volvo-alternator-bosch-al157x

Well, I'm late to the party, my alternator failed today at 45,000ish miles. Oh, and 2 months after the warranty expired. The silver lining is that my buddy owns a shop that works on Audis.

Upon retrieving the information to answer you correctly I discovered that my original alternator was a Bosch 140Amp/14Volt. My new alternator is an A-Premium 140Amp/12Volt.

Don\u2019t get a Bosch

I replaced the Alternator on my 2016 Mini Cooper Paceman with a brand new Bosch Alternator. For whatever reason the Alternator is only putting out 11-11.6 volts.
