Alternator OEM Toyota or Bosch

If you were family or my customer I would get the 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 have replaced my alternator with a good "?" Bosch alternator and it charged for 3 days but now the battery light is on until the motor is above 2500 rpm

I needed a new weather strip (DIYed with a $30 part off Amazon) and a new alternator ($400, could have DIYed but didn’t have time to wait for a part to ship).

I picked up a 07 jetta 2.5 from the auction for a good deal and only 95k on it. The problem is the battery is not charging, figured ok needs new alternator put a bosch unit in and it is still not charging the battery. Put multi meter to the post on alternator and it is only putting off 11.5v.

I recently had two brand new Bosch remanufactured alternators fail. One after six weeks, and one was bad right out of the box.
