2011 Kia soul. 190k miles. No engine oil issues. Use fully synthetic that lasts about 10,000 miles per oil change. The only thing that I replaced twice was the alternator. lol
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.
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 replaced the Alternator on my 2016 Mini Cooper Paceman with a brand new Bosch Alternator. For whatever reason the Alternator is only putting out 11-11.6 volts.
The first few months of my Kia Sorento purchase, my air conditioning did not work. Then at 61,000 the alternator went and it was 1,000 miles out of warranty.
