Alternator
1989 300E 110k
Alternator was making a howling noise after I got off the freeway for about 10 minutes then went away. No other issues were noted. Any thoughts?

i would agree with first response,sounds like overheating worn out bearings,all you need to do is place a screw driver or wood dowel on it,then listen with your ear,you will hear the noise that does not sound right coming though the end.

Replacing Alternator
How difficult is it to replace the alternator? I have done it before on other cars but somehow this looks a bit more tricky with Mercedes. Am I being too concerned? Another recent poster said it took him 3.5 hours and sore arms! Should not be like that!
