Alternator OEM FORD or Bosch

Bosch Alternator

I ran the Toywagen with the waterpump and the crank. PS is only with the crank. I had to use a MK3 v-belt PS pulley for the waterpump as the stock one didn't align for some obscure reason. I have one of those aftermarket Bosch alts, so I had to put 2 washers to space the toyagen even more

Pros: easy to install
Cons: alignment issues

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.

Pros: provides 57 amps

We have an '05 ZX5. The alternator crapped out at about 45k miles. $50 part, did it myself. Otherwise, it's been flawless. 60k and counting.

Pros: flawless otherwise
Cons: alternator crapped out
Vehicle: Ford Focus
Mileage: 72420 km

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.

Pros: VR6 alternator will work
Cons: pulley not interchangeable

I had a Cougar (same underpinnings) and mine went through alternators like candy. I'm sure a better-designed aftermarket version would probably take care of it though.

Pros: better sounding V6s
Cons: alternators like candy
Vehicle: Ford Cougar
