MPA Electrical 10198 Alternator

Remanufactured Alternator for Mercedes-Benz Applications

The MPA Electrical 10198 is a remanufactured 12-volt alternator built for select Mercedes-Benz charging system applications. It delivers 180 amps with an internal regulator, internal fan, clockwise rotation, and a 6-groove serpentine pulley for direct-fit replacement where specified.

As part of MPA Electrical’s Remanufactured line, this alternator is rebuilt for vehicle-specific fitment and charging performance. It is a practical replacement choice for Mercedes-Benz E350, ML350, GLE350, R350, C350, and SLK350 applications that require the listed Valeo-style configuration.

Detailed Description

This MPA Electrical 10198 alternator is specified for Mercedes-Benz charging system service where the original unit uses a Valeo configuration with an internal regulator and 6-groove serpentine pulley. It is listed for 2012-2018 Mercedes-Benz applications including E350, ML350, GLE350, R350, C350, and SLK350, with notes for standard pulley and non-Start/Stop configurations where indicated. This part cross-references BBB Industries 11711 for the same application.

What It Helps Solve

• Battery warning lights caused by weak alternator output
• Low charging voltage at idle or under electrical load
• Dim lights or unstable electrical performance
• Charging system failure from a worn original alternator
• Fitment issues when replacing a Valeo-style Mercedes-Benz alternator

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify pulley style, rotation, amperage, and regulator type against the original unit before installation. Confirm whether the vehicle is equipped with Start/Stop features, since some listed applications specify compatibility without Start/Stop. Match the 11:45 clock position and 6-groove serpentine belt routing to the original alternator configuration.

Quality Assurance

MPA Electrical remanufactured components are rebuilt to restore charging-system function for the listed Mercedes-Benz applications. Confirm part number 10198 and vehicle-specific fitment before installation to ensure the correct replacement.
