[C320-list] Alternator 12v 55 a

[Graeme Clark]

Have a look at this file , which is installation instructions for an advanced battery management unit that I have.
Obviously that isn't in itself relevant but there are loads of diagrams and at the end, drawings of different alternators showing what wires are what.

May or may not help, but worth a look!
