Valeo.

Much easier to refurbish the brush/slip rings, also when mine failed after 2-3 years from slip ring replace I decided let's go with Bosch because the VR is available in local stores for under $40.

That backfired badly : the Bosch lasted one drive.

Turns out prob because they used Chinese VR on the reman but it turned me off of Bosch and I’m back to Valeo.

I would be ok with NEW Bosch but I’d still be leery of using just from getting burned.
