IMO a rebuilt German Bosch unit is far superior to the Chinese alts.
Cheapest for me was a new Valeo unit from Rockauto. Cheaper than Turner too.
+1 for Valeo. This job wasn\u2019t fun.
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 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 bought a new Valeo alt cheap because this part was broke. After days os scouring the internet I found two sources, but the would NOT retail the part. They only supply rebuilders in bulk.
Mesmo um Valeo novo está caríssimo, pede mais orçamentos.
I had a Bosch alternator die in <6 months. Got installed in November 2024 and it died a few weeks ago.
