I've had brand new Bosch units dead right out of the box. Started the vehicle and the a/f meter showed nothing. Put the old one back in and worked ok. Argued with the parts store about the Bosch junk. He suggested that maybe my car killed it. I stated BS. He asked, then why did I change it? I pointed to his sign recommending that they be replaced at 50 or 60 k ( I forget the number). Guess it blew his argument since he gave the money back.
Last month I bought Bosch ceramic brake pads. Vacuum sealed in plastic.
3 right pads and 1 left.
I'll never touch another Bosch product. Maybe they're ok in Europe, but they can't build anything reliable for the US domestic market.
