Introduction w211 E55 already an issue
Hello all, how was the previous owner of C32 which I sold a couple of years back and I just recently purchased a 2005 E55 and I have already run into my first issue. I am getting the battery voltage warning red screen and have changed out my voltage regulator and Main battery and my front battery test out at 12.6 volts. My alternator is only putting out 11.7 volts consistently when running. I'm thinking of changing that next. Does anyone have a Bosch alternator they're willing to sell? Also any input or Direction you can give me would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Good intel in that one, lots more just with a little search bro, alternators usually do not die, it tends to be the $1xx.xx black plastic part with the electronic contacts on the back of the alternator right where the cables connect...sounds like yours needs to be replaced.
Eurocharged did a pretty baller write up on replacement with part numbers and such...
At this point it may be worth getting a SDS/DAS or just keep chucking parts sadly is what ur gonna do for the complete ownership of the car :-(
Just re-iterating SDS/DAS are great to have and money spent well

OP. If your alternator isn't charging after idling for over a minute of start up, check output directly at the back of the alternator. If voltage is good coming out there I'd move to the battery control module in the truck / spare tire well area.

Way to try and make the OP look like a dunce in refering to the voltage regulator without reading what he posted. Your a clown. And a Star isn't going to throw a code "bad alternator" replace... lol...

And also don't listen to people that state facts like "the alternators never go bad" there experience is often based on just there own 1 vehicle, or the others who post on the forums. These alternators do fail and quite frequently. Hence why there are reman alternators available aftermarket and via the dealer. If the alternators never failed there wouldn't be remans... lol
