c280 alternator noise / engine stalling

My 1994 c280 stalls when you first start it in the morning. This happens when the alternator kicks in, I know this by the loud whining coming from it. Can this be cured by simply replacing the Bosch alternator and if so, are any special tools required?
Thanks

Re: c280 alternator noise / engine stalling

Are you sure you are not hearing the air pump or maybe the a/c compressor? The alternator does not "kick in", the air pump and a/c compressor do. It may be a air leak or a faulty computer causing the idle to not compensate quick enough...or maybe just needs a service?
