I'm on my second Bosch rebuilt. It is all my Indy will use. When the original unit in the car failed it stopped charging, and the Bosch rebuilt that went in was very reliable, until about a year ago, when the bearings started roaring (although it still charged just fine).
Important distinction is that these are rebuilt and backed by Bosch, not a Bosch unit rebuilt by someone locally. Nothing wrong with a local rebuild, if he does good work and sources quality components, but my Indy has found that Bosch rebuilds are consistent in reliability.
I got a little over 100,000 miles on the original, and about 125,000 on rebuilt #1. Second rebuilt is about 10,000 miles in and going strong.
