By purchasing a Bosch starter motor or alternator, you’re investing in quality. For over 100 years Bosch has been at the cutting edge of electrical technology and continues to produce these market-leading products to the highest quality standards.

Unlike other brands on the market, all Bosch spark plugs are resistor spark plugs, as fitted by Original Equipment Manufacturers. Resistor sparkplugs avoid damage to expensive electronic components. They also protect engine management computers against electromagnetic interference. Bosch invented the spark plug and after 100 years experience in developing, testing and manufacturing spark plugs, it’s no surprise that Bosch spark plugs are recommended by vehicle manufacturers worldwide.
The installation of imitation fuel pumps can lead to fuel delivery trouble and to a drop in engine power due to insufficient fuel supply. This can cause premature failure of the fuel pump resulting in high repair costs. Bosch fuel pumps are manufactured to original equipment quality, ensuring a long service life. They also provide optimal and safe hot fuel delivery quantity every time you drive.

All filters should be changed according to the vehicles manufacturer’s recommendations or once a year. The importance of filters is frequently underestimated. For financial reasons, many motorists change filters less frequently than recommended and therefore unknowingly damage high-grade technical components of their car or neglect the protection of the vehicle components from pollutants. Bosch filters which include fuel, oil, air and cabin filters have an optimum balance between filtration efficiency and pressure drop. They are made of special micro-fibre paper impregnated with synthetic resin that separates up to 99% of all impurities.
This is definitely a possibility. It is wise to have your battery’s condition checked at your local Bosch Car Service Dealer. They will simulate high load conditions with a specialised tool and will also check the battery cable and terminals for cleanliness and wear. While the battery may need replacing it’s also important to have your alternator checked as well, as this is what’s used to maintain the charge in your battery under all conditions.

As with any rubber component, timing belts do age and wear over time due to factors such as mechanical, chemical, and heat demands inside the vehicle. A weak timing belt may break causing the camshaft in the engine to stop rotating, leaving the valves open and protruding into the cylinders. As this can cause major engine damage, it is recommended to replace your timing belt when it is due at the appropriate vehicle service. Of course, Bosch offers an extensive range of belts to fit most vehicles. They are designed for long life so you can be assured of the best possible safety against engine damage.
When fitting new glow plugs always test the timer is operating correctly. Older engines used a glow period of up to 21 seconds. More modern engines have around a 6 to 8 second heat period and provide after glow at a reduced voltage. If the pump timing is not correct, or the engine is over fuelled, this can damage the glow plugs due to the increased vibration and heat.
The main reason ignition coils crack is due to uncontrolled primary current causing internal heat build up within the coil. This can be the result of an ignition module failure or an incorrectly specified coil or ignition module. Immobilisation switches on the coil negative can also cause this problem.
