Alternator Bosch or VALEO
I replaced mine with an oem valeo
I managed to get a reman Bosch 150a/140a last year from Advance Auto for around $190.
I just replaced the one in my daughter's Mk 4 with a rebuilt 120A Bosch one from Rock Auto last week.
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.
I had a car get flooded for 6 months and the Bosh alternator still worked perfectly for another 21 years. Would buy again
Fcp euro has an 100amp bosch one that works well. They have a lifetime warranty too.
The alternator went out on it, and I had to replace it four times due to faulty over the counter rebuilt Bosch parts.
Upon retrieving the information to answer you correctly I discovered that my original alternator was a Bosch 140Amp/14Volt. My new alternator is an A-Premium 140Amp/12Volt.
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.
