It features a 180-amp rating, internal regulator, and conventional pulley design with six grooves for serpentine belt applications. The unit is configured for clockwise rotation, negative polarity, and a 12 o'clock plug clock position. As a reman alternator, it is intended to replace the original charging unit while maintaining the electrical and mechanical specifications needed for proper system operation. This part cross-references Mercedes-Benz OE numbers 000-906-86-01 and 014-154-09-02 for the same application.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat It Helps Address\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBattery warning lights caused by weak charging output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow-voltage conditions from a failing alternator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCharging instability in high-demand electrical systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNoise or belt-drive issues related to a worn pulley assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElectrical performance loss from regulator or internal component wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eVerify the amperage rating, pulley groove count, plug clock position, and rotation direction before installation.
