The engine is a '99 M113.

As to Bosch quality, I think they all come from the Bosch plants in China anyway. (Plant Locations: Beijing, Changsha, Chuzhou, Dongguan City, Hangzhou, Hong Kong, Nanjing, Shanghai, Suzhou, Wujin, Wuxi, Xian, Zhuhai). Not that different from everybody else, though.

Believe what you want, but my experience working with Bosch as a supplier is that they came across as arrogant monopolists who were seldom responsive in addressing quality concerns. I would take the behemoth Siemens any day of the week.
