I just replaced my starter and alternator with genuine Bo$ch rebuilds. I don't know yet if they will last any longer than the FLAPS parts, but having the starter engage instantaneously was certainly impressive! The alternator I had in for the last year was a FLAPS "World Class Remanufactured." It still performed OK, but it seemed to make a lot of bearing noise, and I thought it would be worth replacing. I'm not looking forward to my credit card bill!
