Bosch has announced an extension to its warranty period for starters and alternators to three years.

Effective from 1 June 2021, the new warranty period covers Newman, Bosch eXchange (BX) and starter and alternator spares parts programmes.

Additionally, the new warranty period is retrospectively applied to products installed in a vehicle during the last three years.

Bosch has more than 100 years’ experience with starters and alternators.

The first Bosch alternator was produced in 1913, a year later the first starter was launched onto the market.

Bosch’s comprehensive product portfolio for starters and alternators also contains units for use with innovative technologies, such as start/stop and highly efficient alternators with an efficiency of up to 80 per cent.

The production of starters and alternators for the aftermarket is subject to the same stringent quality guidelines as the production of original equipment.

Even the final functional and quality tests also meet the same standards applied to original equipment.
