In my AU ll the original Bosch alternator lasted 14 years but the obligatory seeping power steer leak got it in early 2015 .Dumb dumb here put in a new Bosch but failed to deal with the P/S issue..Idiot I am .. So a few months ago the second alternator went west for the same reason . Ended up fitting the new style high pressure hose to permanently fix the issue and was advised to go with the Mitsubishi alternator this time as it's a fair bit cheaper but just as good .
The only thing though with the AU etc Bosch alty's at least is that they do have the removable voltage regulator if that component fails , In both mine though the damage was the p/s fluid corroding the internals ..
The upgraded h/p hose kit is a much better set up all round than the old design or the repair kit for that old style set up ..Was about $120 fitted I think .
Won't happen again now . (or shouldn't) ..The Mitsy alternator was around $240 while the Bosch was nearer $320 I think.
