Hi i am considering to change my alternator since i have some problems that i think related to its being going now. i already changed the voltage regulator and OVP in the past 2 months and it seems like it still have problems with it. battery never went dead but when sitting in idle my interior lights are flickering, not too bad but noticeable. there is also a slight misfire, an annoying one that a m103 shouldnt have. and seems like the flickering is synchronized with the misfire. all spark plugs are the recommended non resistor ones wires have changed last month with original bosch ones. coil has been changed by the previous owner while selling it to me.
i also noticed that some 190 owners are upgrading their alternator. since i am going to change it what do you guys recommend? i dont have any subs or fancy stereo systems but a stronger bolt on alternator from a 500 etc could be good. also what is the standard amperage on these cars alternators?

as a side note i think i also need to change my ICV and coldstart valve since i have some hard time to start it cold and until it gets warmed up it has a funky idling... and sometimes it needs a little push on the throttle to get it started.

i feel bad that i am always the askin side in this forum but i am trying to build up some more experience before giving any comments.

thanks in advance and i would love to hear your thoughts.
