Hello People
I have a 2012 A5 2.0tdi 105kw. My alternator bearing started grinding, i would like to rebuild it but i dont know the dimension of the bearings. The oem bearing is Bosch F 00M 599 401 but everywhere is out of stock and i can't find the dimensions to order an aftermarket one.
Is there anyone that knows the specs of the front and rear bearings of my alternator, it's oem Bosch. Or tell me the size?
 
That part number appears to be obsolete so has probably been superceded.

The Bosch part number for complete alternators is either 03L903017 or 03L903017B , E or X

04L903017 B E X alternators also appear to be the same.

You can pick up a warranted second hand item from £40 on Fleabay.

Than you for the help, all these part numbers really don't make the job easier. What do you think, if I go to a bearing shop can I find something the same size and spec?
 
Yes they use bog standard size bearings. The part number is a kit that includes fitting tools that make it easier to change the bearings. Thats what the plastic ring and small aluminium thing are in the kit.
https://www.akteknikotomotiv.com.tr/bosch/rulman-kiti-mercedes-benz-bosch?page=9 shows a picture of the kit and you can see the part number on the larger bearing.

You can type in bearing sizes and the site will give you options.
