They list a place at Mt Gravatt and bunnings at Mt Gravatt. I assume these place can order you parts. The power tool repairers can fix the tools but I don't know how you go with warranty.
I just had a poke around that website and downloaded the parts diagrams for my ros and drill. Clear and complete even included rrp for the parts. The reversing switch on my drill has gone so thinking about spending the $17 for a replacement.
I won't buy bosch again though. Loving my hitachi stuff.
Incidentally I THINK this is the vacuum adapter for the bosch blue GEX 125 AC that I have. This is the cheapest source I could find:
https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Bosch-Ad...1F6e:rk:1:pf:0
The part number is 2600306007. I am chasing bosch australia to confirm. Just in case anyone else has a gex125 and is chasing the part.I'm just a startled bunny in the headlights of life. L.J. Young.

looks like you just need someone with one, and someone with some 3d CAD skills, and someone with a 3d printer.... and a webshop

YYDo you have a GEX 125 AC or a GEX 125 AVE?
If it’s the AC then it’s the correct part and I have one you can have for postage.
If you have a GEX 125AVE, then it’s the wrong part. BOSCH Australia told me it was the correct part that’s why I have it sitting around.
If you have an AVE, the one you want is a VAC024 which Bosch Australia do not keep in Australia and will not order in. I ordered mine from Amazon.
heres a link showing it on my Bosch GEX 125 AVE
Bosch GEX 125 AVE ROS - anybody here use one?

Try Bunnings
Good Morning Bellbowrie
I googled your part number and, incredibly, Bunnings has it at $6.40.
https://www.bunnings.com.au/bosch-du...aptor_p6310006
You have to differentiate between Bunnings SKU no p6310006 and Bosch part no 2600306007.
Price seems reasonable.

Hi,
I just saw this. First thank you very much Lappa for the kind offer.
I have the AC with the oval port.
Bosch got back to me and advise the correct part is 2.605.702.039 but that one looks like it will fit. I can not imagine they would have 2 oval ports that are incompatible but you never know.
I think I will goto bunnings and see what's what. I want to order a reversing switch for my bosch drill at the same time. Popping in to bunnings on a saturday before christmas no way that will go wrong...I'm just a startled bunny in the headlights of life. L.J. Young.

Do a search for 2 605 702 039.
This is what I got.

I’m not saying Bosch is wrong but I would ask for a link/diagram from Bosch to confirm it’s the correct part before spending.
This is the one they supplied me and it definately states GEX 125; GEX 150 AC;
However, it only suits a 19mm hose.

Yes unfortunately they don't seem to like posting drawings of accessories. I spent a heap of time trying to find maybe a parts diagram of the US model since it's standard fit over there. I had no luck.
As you say that part is the adapter on the dust box. Sigh.
So I'm planning to risk the $6.40 and see what's what. Makita parts are so much easier.I'm just a startled bunny in the headlights of life. L.J. Young.

This thread was started to seek some clarity on availability of the Bosch Blue GST 160 BCE (bow or D handle) and Bosch GST 160 CE (barrel grip) jigsaw. Also which supplier would have them available.
This was against the background of the Bosch GST 140 BCE model becoming unavailable from Bosch, and now other suppliers.
The following has transpired:
Exclusive agency for Bosch tools has been given to Total Tools and Bunnings / Blackwoods (both Westfarmers owned)
The Bosch GST 160 CE appeared on the Bosch Aust website mid December 2018.
No sign of Bosch GST 160 BCE yet & Customer Support has no idea when it might appear.
Pricing of the GST 160 CE seems (Total Tools) about the same as previous model. Nothing in stock - can order it in.
Well, I have been interested in getting the bow handled version of the GST 160 but have given up waiting and picked up the GST 140 CE (barrel grip and superseded model) at a reduced price of $299 vs $429.
The driver for all this was to get a tool to replace my very heavy Hitachi C9 235mm circular saw for cutting thick wood. About 31/2 inches is about it's limit. I'm getting old and not as strong.
Haven't used the jigsaw, that is rated as up to 140mm, much yet but did a trial on 250x50 pine sleeper and had no problems at all. Quick and easy.
Also cut a 100x100mm Oregon post. I sailed through it with smooth square straight cut - most impressed. The C9 could not do this in one go.
Long blades for the deep cuts seem hard to find. I got a packet of DeWalt 180mm blades on ebay. There is a Bosch one 250mm long but seems only available OS.
So at the end of this long and torturous path all has worked out quite well and happy with the much lighter tool.

Just remember guys, if you cannot get it repaired or at least get spare parts easily it's not worth the indulgence. To get spare parts for a number of brands you can only get them through special orders at the big green shed, yes Bunnings.
So my advice is to see who locally repairs or supplies spares for what brands.
