The Valeo has a recess for the raised circle on the back of the 8 rib pulley. The 6 rib pulley is flat and the N/A alternator doesn't have the recess. So, I'd be throwing belts every day if I bought it. I've found several places to purchase a new exact replacement Valeo but shipping ……. (%$*^&^*()!! not until around xmas. ($300 to $350 plus shipping) I'll be calling a couple to price expedited shipping. Advanced claims to sell the original Valeo for $450 plus a core but all their photos show the 6 rib pulley and now I wonder about that recess and need to be sure. Just another Crossfire oddity day. BTW, I'm searching the MB # which is A1121530202 for those of you that are interested. The Valeo # is SQ12B060.

I have different numbers for the alternator, 112 154 02 02 and SG12B060.
They are in my post of the Valeo alternators above and the 113 154 02 02 is also in an SLK32 parts listing that I have.
1 Alternator Assy. (includes the pulley)
SLK320 011 154 91 02 $945.00 1.0
SLK32 112 154 02 02 $1,500.00 1.0
Look at those crazy prices, the sheet they came from is years old. It does include the pulley though.
