I knew it would be the alternator. Just get a napa unit. I bought a OEM one in a pinch with a friends discount and it lasted 6 months and locked up. I wasn't able to return it either so I bought the $190 napa one and it was going strong when we tore the engine down.

They pulled the "we did not install it" and the regulator was actually melted and they said it must of been installed wrong (which it wasn't and couldnt be really) and would not warranty it.

Also this one is only 150 amps, stock E55 alternator is 180 amp.
I say get the NAPA rebuild and find an independent shop to slap it in. You get a warranty from NAPA then as well. Any even kinda half assed shop should be able to handle this one.

That seems to be the incorrect alternator. For W211 in the description it only shows some E320 and an E500.
