Looks like I'm in need of a new alternator. 2 choices from VWH really and need to know if the £130+ extra for the Bosch unit is worthwhile

or the Bosch one @ £227.80 :shock:

Obviously the Bosch one should be better quality and last well but has anyone got any real world experience of the cheaper version? Maybe alex has info on failure rates?
Cheers!
