I got a Bosch reman (listed as Denso)... so far so good.
90% is the alternator: get a reman Bosch. The "squeaky serpentine belt" is actually the bearings inside the alternator on their last legs.
Check alternator voltage should be above 14V at 1500 RPM. Bosch alternators are crap anymore, I bought a new WAI global alternator, it has strong output so far. Only time will tell if it holds up.
I installed a Bosch re-manufactured unit. Under $200. It has a 24 month warranty and roadside assistance included.
Aftermarket units from Bosch and other are about $300.
The most expensive one at Rock is a Bosch for $186.79+ core.
Alternator died on a trail and I got a reman Bosch unit (180A) and put a new battery in. I\u2019m getting a load of codes that I\u2019ll drop below, but I\u2019m wondering if you ever figured it out?
It’s either Bosch or Valeo.
I bought an aftermarket bosch alternator, (new not refurbished) and after installing the pulley to 80NM (black part), I noticed a wobble and a brushing sound. The original alternator does not have this brushing sound.
Everything went well, or so we thought, as he turned on the car it started to slowly smoke. I assume that the ac compressor plug got shorted or was loosely plug bc it was the hardest thing to replug and the fact the ac isn’t blowing cold air anymore. We recharged the battery to 12.4-12.5 v. The alternator was only pulling 13.3-13.7 v with load and without load. Mind you this was a new OES Bosch alternator.
