Mine has been superceded four times from original and is still an option of two different models so it has to come out for identification, if the fault is found in the diode pack this can be replaced separately and much cheaper than replacing an alternator.

Put your VIN here to find what you're looking for; https://mercedes.7zap.com/en/eu/fg/car/
