Alternator OEM KIA or Bosch

i swaped my wimpy 90amp stock alternator for a brand new bosch 120 amp for a vr6 u just have to change the pulley which is easy if you have a impact gun go to a shop with your old and new one and pay the guy 10 bucks and im sure he will do it takes a min everything else is plug and play connector is the same and then all you have is the charge wire that bolts on the alt and goes to the batt ......really super easy

finally, i got tired of re-charging my car, that i finally got rid of that P.O.S. motorola alternator and swapped on a bosch reman.. been golden ever since then.

Had a noise when idling my 2005 passat 2.0 diesel auto. When I turned the wheel at idle the belt would chirp and jump( at the pwr steering pump). Found out I had a defective Schrage(sp?) pulley/clutch on my Bosch 120 amp alternator.

i had the same exact problem. tested the battery and alternator, both tested good. came across a fanactic VW mechanic. told him my problem, he test drove it for a couple of minutes. then he told me it was my alternator. my alternator is going bad. so i took his advise, bought a new bosch, and now, new more red light. plus the new alternator seemed to give me more power, thats from what i feel. probably just my imagination.

well i need a alternator because my bearing is about to fail and my buddy is selling me a BRAND NEW bosch unit for 50 bucks so why not...

I got a bosch when mine died on me. No complaints :thumbup:

my alternator is of the clutched variety. Its from a 1997 and will not contribute to the crank nose keyway issue. 90A Bosch $35 plus shipping

I had to fit a new alternator since the old one had died on me: I replaced the non-original alternator with a bosch 90A alternator OEM VW/AUDI. It got up to 13.9volts now, the regulator limits it to 14V.

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.
