How to replace the alternator on Mercedes-Benz C230?

Remember to take the old alternator when installing the new one to make sure that the new or repaired version looks like it, has the same terminals, and the same identification numbers. Most new and remanufactured alternators do not include a pulley so inquire about the policy of the shop concerning the transfer of the pulley, some will provide this free. In the case of 2001-2005 V6s, disconnect the negative battery cable, remove the engine cover and air filter housing, unscrew the accessory drive belt, unscrew the alternator without disconnecting the electrical connector and battery cable. On V6's (as of 2006) and later, proceed accordingly, such as have the car raised, the air intake duct removed, various components disconnected then open up the design of the alternator by unscrewing the various printed plates and attaching a nut to the screwdriver. The location of the alternator is noted as being on the lower right side of the engine block, and on 2002 four-cylinders; the negative battery cable must be disconnected, the vehicle raised, and the engine under-cover and drive belt unbolstered before the alternator can be removed. With 2003-2005 four-cylinder models, again disconnect battery, then intake duct then detach alternator by unbolstering. All models are the reverse of installation, that is removal.

Mercedes-Benz C230 Alternator

The Mercedes-Benz C230 Alternator is the onboard generator and battery charger of the car, which transforms engine power into constant electricity that drives all lights, sensors, and entertainment systems of the car. This Alternator is located at the front of the engine, where a belt rotates its shaft against a fan-cooled rotor located in the stationary stator windings to generate alternating current. The two-piece aluminum housing of Mercedes-Benz cars also houses diodes that convert that AC to the direct current required by the battery and electrical circuits, brushes, and a voltage regulator to ensure that the output does not exceed safe limits. In the case of earlier C230 models, an internal or external regulator was required, but later models incorporate that control in the vehicle powertrain control module, where it can be managed more finely and be better protected against over-charging or under-charging. Irrespective of the year, the assembly has front and rear bearings to support the shaft and a pulley sized to suit engine speed so that the voltage remains stable even at idle. The variations in design are primarily based on the excitation method, where traditional field-coil rotors are applied for the bulk of the Mercedes-Benz output and permanent magnets are only applied on specialty models, but the working principle is the same as that developed by Faraday's Law. As the system constantly refills the battery as long as the car is on the road, drivers will experience certain guarantees in starting the car and maintaining both safety and comfort electronics, and the importance of the Mercedes-Benz Alternator in general vehicle health cannot be overstated.
