The AL129X Bosch alternator is still available, go with new vs. used to avoid issues.
Thanks Alex, I was just looking at that write-up you wrote a few years back. My hesitation is that apparently the AC compressor manifold hose blocks the electrical plug on that alternator.

When you say go with new vs. old, how do you feel about remans?
It's looking like $171 for reman vs. $240 for brand new.

Thanks again.
