Caveat Posted by Ari [Email] (#2847) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Ari) on Fri, 13 Jun 2003 05:57:53 In Reply to: Only buy the BOSCH part!, tim, Fri, 13 Jun 2003 03:55:50 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
There are a lot of aftermarket manufacturers out there - just about the definition of aftermarket. Some of them do make quality products. I have seen non-Bosch VRs that fit just fine and worked just fine. So I think it's unfair to say that anything that doesn't say 'Bosch' is a straight, short road to complete disaster.
Tim - it would be helpful to know exactly who made the bad VR you got. And it may have been simple human error on the Part's guy's end - it's very possible he read 'the book' wrong and simply gave you the wrong part number for your alternator - that would explain not fitting.
Having said that, I stick with Bosch parts whenever possible. However, if it's Sunday afternoon and all I can get is Beck/Arnley, and I need to get that car running for Monday, then B/A it is.
