I got 2 bosch remans that did not work out the box, took them to local alternator shop and they laughed at how it looked inside, no hope of working , after that i always have them rebuilt and tested locally before install to save the frustration of fitting a dead alternator (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)
