Great fix!
I wonder why MB put these undersized alternators in the diesel cars...
I just replaced mine with a 135Amp from a Saab. Now even with the defogger, headlights, windshield wipers, rear defogger, and radio on, everything works as it should. Before I had to kill the radio and switch between front and rear defogger or the "ALT" light would come on...
And that was with a new voltage regulator!
