Tale of 4 alternators .. at a former dealer .. SAAB Bosch price paid (~1300 installed) and warrantied for 2 years.
#1. Lasted 15 years 105,000 miles
#2. 6,500 miles (pully started wobbling)
#3. 300 miles (Pully fell off!).. left me stranded with a tow.
#4. Dealer called supplier to complain.... response was Bosch has changed their rebuilder to china.. sends them to china for rebuild. Same problem on #2 and #3.. pully not torqued with lock tight so pully falls off. . For this last one.. shop removed pully / applied lock tight and installed.. (has been 2000 miles and so far so good.
Be careful with the rebuilt alternators and consider re-torqing the pully.
Paid once.. shop did the work 3 times in 4 months... not good for anyone.
