I just replaced the one in my daughter's Mk 4 with a rebuilt 120A Bosch one from Rock Auto last week.
Pros: rebuilt, bench tested
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
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.
Pros: 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
Pros: worked perfectly 21 years
Fcp euro has an 100amp bosch one that works well. They have a lifetime warranty too.
Pros: works well, lifetime warranty
Been at this many years - I hate a dirty windshield. I’m going to say what others have said: Bosch ICON. I just replaced mine after 3 years, and they didn’t really need changing as they were almost like new still, just sun faded.
Pros: long lasting, almost new
Cons: sun faded
Wagner Pads, Bosch QC Rotors. Duralast pads are made by Durago, available on RockAuto. They’re nothing special but they work fine. I like Wagner brakes, other good options include Bosch, Centric and Reybestos. For materials; Ceramic will be quieter and less dusty. Semi-metallic usually have higher fade point but are noisier and let off a fair it more dust which coats your wheels. I’ve been having good luck with the Bosch Quietcast rotors. Advice High Carbon are probably actually be the best option but are one of the more expensive options. Raybestos coated also seem to hold up decently and are a little cheaper. Just avoid anything drilled or slotted it just acts as a cheese grater and acts as less surface area for the pads to grab.
Pros: good rotors, decent Raybestos
Cons: expensive, drilled/slotted
My cargo bike advertises a range of 40-70 miles depending on level of boost. I get up to 40, at the very most, but never more. I use minimum boost only, and usually don’t ride up any major hills. I’ve wonder if this is just grade inflation for marketing or if my Bosch battery was just old/crappy when I got it.
Cons: less range than advertised
Bought a new distributor cap. Popped it on and it "wiggled" while car was running. Looks crazy as sin. What the hell is that about?! It's a Bosch cap. Maybe it's made in China now. This ever happen to you guys? I'll shoot video. Nutty!!
Cons: wiggled while running
My windshield isn't ceramic coated and my Bosch icons stutter like crazy. I thought they were just past their prime but I installed a new pair and they are doing the same thing.
Cons: severe stuttering
