I replaced the alternator a month ago on my w123 240d after changing it the battery light never worked even with the engine off, today after a week that the car was left standing I turned it on to go to work and up to that point everything was fine, but to go home it didn't start I had to turn it on with a booster, and I noticed that with the engine on the voltage is 11.9V (I'll start by saying that the alternator is painted, could it be that it doesn't have ground?)

Thanks Michael for this awesome video. I have one empty pulley and the previous owner said there is no air condition. Could be that the reason I don't have a pulley belt?

Nice information.

Awesome video! Do you, by any chance, have the part number of the replacement alternator you used?

[@michaelthemercedesguy]

The replacement was one the customer had rebuilt. I do not know the part number, but the one I removed is a Bosch AL 80X.

Do you have an extra alternator bracket you can send me?

[@michaelthemercedesguy]

I do. My contact information is in the description to each of my videos. Thanks for watching!
