Subject: Re: [MBZ] Time for an Alternator Check?
Replaced the alternator with an Advanced Auto lifetime warranty Bosch
reman. $135 when it was all said and done.
When I got under the car there was no way I could get the back cover off
in situ, so I went ahead and just pulled the alternator.
Relatively simple job, except getting it out. MB recommends pulling the
fan, but that was going to be a PITA so I dropped the sway bar, which was
far easier and much less intrusive.
I struggled for a little bit with deciding to go with the FLAPS reman, but
the more I thought about it, this is a $1200 car, so why should I be
investing big bucks in it?
Everything is back together, it's charging up a storm, and all is well.
Not a bad job at all, maybe a total of an hour and a half start to finish.
Dan
