The PP listing is unclear. That it is a Bosch manufactured piece is certain, but the rebuild source is not certain.
This is a good point.

I used a genuine Bosch rebuilt starter in my 107 and it is still in service after many many years.

Recently, I bought a Bosch starter rebuilt by ACDelco for my 300D. Local shop installed it. It was completely dead! Had to remove it and I had the original rebuilt by a reputable local shop. It has worked fine. Cost me double labour No compensation or even acknowledgement of fault from ACDelco. Lesson learned.

Next, our W210 starter also failed. Once bitten, twice shy, I had local shop remove it. I took it to rebuilder and they had it ready to re-install following morning. Still working well.
