If you have a Mercedes SLK R170 with a 320 engine and not AMG version it's almost exact the same.

Note:
My car is not the SRT6 version, that one has another alternator, it's the pulley that's different and maybe something else.

Note:
You have to work with the electric parts when doing a replacement of the alternator. Disconnect the battery, the negative terminal ! When disconnecting the battery the alarm and radio will be reset, be sure to have any codes that's needed!

A few days after I ordered the new alternator it arrived. Before I took the car to the workshop I inspect the new alternator if it was of the correct model. Already when I ordered it I get to know that it is a 120 Amp alternator. You find it on many Mercedes models of earlier years.

The old alternator.

The new alternator, clockwise rotation, looks the same.

The new alternator seen from side, same 6 groove belt pulley.

Backside of the old alternator.

The new alternator has one extra terminal, you don't use that and I'm think it's the ground terminal. The thick right down bolt is the battery terminal, B1+ . To the left is the socket for the field connection.

First when I looked at the alternators I felt there was different dimension at one place. When I checked they both had 56 mm.

Then everything looks ok, time to call the workshop to have it installed!
