- Is this a new or remanufactured alternator?
- It is remanufactured: Bosch rebuilds a used core to its specifications. That keeps the factory fit at a lower cost than new, but rebuild quality varies more than with a new unit.
- Will it fit my car?
- Only if your car is on Bosch's application list for the AL8785X. Check the plug type, 6-groove pulley and 105-amp rating against your original before ordering.
- How many amps do I need?
- 105 amps suits most cars with standard lights, audio and climate loads. If you run a large stereo, winch or extra lighting, a higher-output alternator is the safer choice.
- Does it come with a pulley?
- Yes, the 6-groove pulley with a 57 mm outside diameter is included and fitted. The internal regulator and fan are also part of the assembly.
- Can I wire it as a one-wire setup?
- No. It is not one-wire capable, so it needs the factory harness and the 314-style plug to charge correctly.
- What is in the box?
- The alternator with its pulley and internal regulator. Mounting bolts and harness are not included, so reuse the original hardware.
- Where is the Bosch AL8785X Remanufactured Alternator 105 Amp cheapest?
- At NAPA, for $277.82, as of our latest check.
