Why wouldn’t you put the Mercedes models this applies to in the video title to save people time.

I appreciate the effort to explain but it sure would have been much better had you recorded taking it out and installing.

Just successfully changed the alternator on a 2009 c300 thanks to this video. This is the vid to watch. The 10 mm expensive swivel head spanner is definitely worth it. I had to get a set for 70 bucks but I could not have done this job from the top without having to get underneath and take all the pipes out, which I did not do, I barely took anything out to make room for hands, but I mostly managed to do the job, at a stretch, I did almost give up, thanks to the 10 mm swivel spanner. Great tip. I couldn't have done it with an e12 and ratchet. There's no room to get the 4th bolt, bottom back. Re-instal was the hardest part. Getting the earth bracket and the bottom two bolts back home without removing the engine plate was no joke. I figured I got it out so I can get it back in. Watch this vid a couple times and take notes on what not to forget. Also, when I finished the job, we said a quick prayer and put the key in the ignition. Dead as a Dodo. AAA came with a new battery and she started right up. Maybe an old failing alternator put too much strain on a two year old battery. I was just glad my work was a success. Many thanks to Youcanic. And my new expensive spanner set is the bomb, for sure.

I have a 07 Mercedes e550 I checked the voltage on the alternator and it’s fluctuating between 12v and 14v and I want to know can that be the alternator? Is it the same procedure to install the alternator as shown on this video?

Great video man...! Thank you for your guidance of replacing an Alternator. I have to replace my motor mounts and transmission mount. I just to needed see how to replace an Alternator so l could gain access to the motor mount that's located on the passenger side. I appreciate the help for what you'd done!

I have connected wrong the battery (polarity inverted) and the alternator isn't charging. Do you think it could be the regulator or maybe the alternator?
Firstly will change the wire that connects alternator with the starter because it has a fuse and could be that the problem too.
But about the regulator what do you think?

FULLY CHARGE THE BATTERY BEFORE TURNING THE CAR BACK ON!

[Dnasty]

Great vid is there enough room to pull the alternator out on the m273 engine or do you have to remove the fan?

[tylerbowling]

You ever do one on a 2013 Mercedes S550?

[jkenstube]

Did you use a 17 mm hex to remove the bolts on the alternator

[VictorMendoza-nmmt]

Would you happen to know how to fix that screech that can be heard when starting the car?

[AlexanderChambers]
