Batteries (alternators)

[Schaible, David]

I was quoted $325 + core for a bosch rebuild (1year warranty) vs. $140
for a local rebuild (with a 3yr warranty), that's the 110amp alternator

Last fall the front bearing went on my GTI's alternator, nothing out of
the 
ordinary when I shut it off in grocery store parking lot, started up
after 
getting milk and horrible grinding/screeching noise, belt slipping and
sliding; 
limped a mile home and removed alternator, replaced front bearing for
$14. I've 
had the car for 10 years, alternator was "reman'd" about three years ago
at a 
local shop, have since had to replace their crap regulator and now their
front 
bearing, if they even replaced it. Such a deal!
