Bosch ICON blades use exclusive tension spring arcing technology to create a fit that is custom-contoured to the curvature of each side of the windshield. The correct blade for a particular vehicle is based on a combination of the blade length and the curvature of the windshield. Driver side always has an “A” part number. Passenger side can have an “A” or “B” part number depending on the vehicle. Blades with a “B” part number have a greater curvature specifically designed to wrap around the passenger side window for greater visibility and clarity. Bosch continues its innovation and leadership with the ICON OE Multi-Clip connector, which offers a like-for-like OE replacement. The Multi-Clip features a flexible connector system, simplifying the installation process for all types of vehicles. Reference the Bosch Wiper Blade catalogue or ask your auto parts professional for the exact part numbers for your vehicle.

When the SafeCheck indicator turns yellow, it is time to check your blades for safer driving in rain, sleet and snow. Common signs of wiper blade failure include, chattering, streaking and large unwiped areas.

Some wiper blades are not aerodynamic and can lift off at high speeds. This causes misswipes and can be dangerous.

Bosch has been manufacturing electric windshield wiping systems for over 80 years. This knowledge of the entire wiping system helps Bosch understand what determines excellent wiper performance. The expertise from original equipment manufacturing goes into each replacement wiper we make. Offered at various price levels, Bosch wiper blades are available for virtually every vehicle on the road.

The best solution for the winter season is the beam blade. By design, beam blades are not affected by snow and ice build up. The enclosed tension springs help keep the blade flexible and effective in wintry conditions. Some manufacturers offer a winter blade. However if the rubber boot over the blade should tear, the water can collect inside and freeze, causing the blade to become ineffective.

It is recommended to replace the driver’s side and passenger’s side wipers at the same time for improved vision and increased safety. Do not forget to replace rear window wipers as well.

Most manufacturers recommend inspecting your wiper blades every six months for wear. Besides wear from exposure to the elements, the rubber component in a wiper blade deteriorates due to road debris, chemicals, climate and ozone exposure. Failures can be identified by excessive noise, streaking and chattering. If the rubber has started to tear apart from the blade it should be replaced immediately.

Consult the Bosch vehicle part finder for the correct part numbers for your vehicle. Most auto parts retailers carry Bosch premium wiper blades. Retail store counter personnel will be happy to help you with this question as well.

Bosch wiper blades are designed with the do-it-yourself customer in mind. For most vehicle applications, the Bosch installation system allows for quick and easy one-step installation without having to deal with adapters.

Windshield contamination is a common cause for poor wiper performance even if the wipers are still in good shape. Some kinds of contamination, such as tree sap, can destroy the wiping element in a short time. We recommend cleaning the windshield regularly with car wash soap as regular dish soap or hand soap can be corrosive to car paint.

The fuel pump itself is covered under the warranty, however installation or related costs are not covered. See limited lifetime warranty PDF for terms and conditions.

To prevent fuel pump failure, always replace the fuel filter and clean the tank to reduce debris and contamination when replacing your pump. Addditionally, avoid extended periods of low fuel levels to help maintain the durability of the pump.

A failed or failing liquid temperature sensor may exhibit a Check Engine Light, Sporadic Gauge Readings, Poor Drivability, Decreased Fuel economy, and Frequent Overheating

No, there are five fundamentally different types of oxygen sensors: unheated thimble, heated thimble, planar, wide-band and titania. Within each sensor type, sensors vary in the design of the ceramic element, heater element and protection tube design, all of which affect how the sensor operates.

Yes! Bosch tests all oxygen sensors it manufactures by subjecting each of them to a 1,000 degree Celsius functional test and a leak test to ensure environmental and functional robustness. The 1,000 degree Celsius test sears the outer protection tube, but ensures 100% functional sensor performance.

There could be an issue with the nozzle if you are experiencing the following: Increased smoke development (especially with cold starts). Increased combustion noise when the engine is cold. The engine is running rough despite being warm You experience a loss of performance You experience increased fuel consumption If you have any of the above issues, it is recommended to take your vehicle to an experienced diesel repair shop.

Bosch manufactures two types of injectors for common rail – solenoid and piezo. The difference between the two injectors is the speed and precision with which they inject diesel fuel. Solenoid injectors operate at 160 microseconds, and piezo injectors operate at 100 microseconds. The two technologies are not compatible – a solenoid injector can't replace a piezo injector and vice versa.

Policies and Instructions: A core is the unit which has been removed from your vehicle and replaced by the unit purchased from Robert Bosch LLC The core charge for each remanufactured injector is $150 and $275 for each remanufactured pump. A core charge is applied to your invoice with the purchase of a remanufactured injector or pump. The core charge is refunded upon receipt of a good core by the distributor. To prevent damage during shipping, cores must be returned in original packaging. (including protective caps) Cores must be returned within 30 days from the original invoice date. Cores must be returned physically intact. (not disassembled or damaged) Core return shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer. We recommend using a common carrier such as USPS, UPS, or Fedex.

Remanufactured does not mean “used” or “rebuilt”. It means that the part has been manufactured again. 100% of all parts are examined and the non-wearable parts are re-used. However, if there are any flaws, the part is discarded. The high pressure pump is rebuilt and all wearable components are replaced. The part is then tested before completion. The extent of the remanufacturing and testing process depends on the manufacturer.

The key cause of high pressure pump failures are: Poor fuel filtration Fuel contamination Incorrect installation Always follow the engine manufacturer's maintenance procedures.
