It is not, they came with double belts factory. And this one is physically larger.



I have the same unit (from the same seller) on my SD, works great.

Do you know if it's Saab 120 A rebuilt for the Mercedes? How many miles do you have on yours?

Not sure, but the case is physically larger so I would venture to guess it is the 119X model or whatever.

I guess I put it on over a year ago, maybe 18 months? Not many miles, mostly around town driving. Around 5000 miles I guess.

Put one on my '83 745i BMW from the same place.

Just bought the Ebay alternator! I put in another voltage regulator with almost new brushes (that I put in) and the battery light is still flickering. I think what's causing the flicker is the armature is worn down and not making good contact. I can feel a pretty deep grove in there. Hope it holds up till the new alternator arrives.

I jiggled the 3 terminal connector and no more flickering battery light and the charging voltage is back to normal. The problem was probably the funky connector all along. My new alternator is on it's way. I will keep the old alternator as a spare after cleaning it up.
