Hi Everyone, and a happy new year to you all!
My girlfriends W203 Coupe's alternator has died, on the epc there are two listed does anyone know which one it would be: Valeo or Bosch???
I've had a look at the car but without removing the engine cover and the underbody protection you just cannot tell.
I'm not wanting to buy the wrong one and end up having to take it back.
Car details: w203 2002 Coupe, Vin: 203745
Would it be worth attemping to have it repaired, either by having a new brush pack or voltage regulator to see if it would work - Its a long shot I know but the alternators are listed as £470!!!!
Edit: Another thought, could I buy the cheapest of the two and change the parts over or would it have to be the correct one in the begining
