Just came under $230 with all the work included.  FML.  car was saying power failure and shit yesterday with all the lights coming on and car died.  luckily was able to pull into a parking lot.  belt was still ok but old.  better to just get a new one while putting in the new alternator.

My son called me a few weeks ago after he took one of the cars for what was to be a 3 hour drive telling me the red battery light in the car illuminated.

Knew right away it was alternator related and told him to get off the highway immed and not to turn the car off else he'd be cooked.  30 seconds later

it was the temp gauge going into the red and told him to put the heat on full blast at highest temp and stop the car immed and turn it off before the water

pump. radiator and hoses blow.   Found him on a side road and pieces of an alternator belt is all that was left.  Towed away and the 1998 528 is now on

a city driving "GPS bracelet-like" restriction. 

 

Soon will be the spare part provider for my 2000 - 528e Msport.
