Default Need best place for alternator

C230 Kompressor

Wondering if it pays to replace the Voltage Regulator or just get the alternator as it has to come out anyway...

Anyone know a good place to get one at a descent price?

Thanks!

Change the Voltage regulator man. The Bosch Alternator will last a long time. It is the voltage regulator on the back side of the alternator that goes bad. I changed mine about 30K miles ago and haven't had one electrical problem since. Original alternator. You will save like $500 and you can do it yourself if youy feel comfy getting under the car. I think it only had like 3 screws.
