Alternator replacement

[LIRS6]

Crap I wish I saw this earlier. I bought a Bosch alternator from autopartwarehouse and it did not fit. Not only that but they wouldn't take it back even though their site sells it as an exact OEM replacement. Now the question is did the shop I took the car to try to scam me or the the part supplier. My hunch is the part supplier.

Shows on another seller's webpage as the correct replacement alternator for RS6 - and this pic looks identical to my OEM http://www.carid.com/2003-audi-a6-ch...r-9411287.html

Could anyone please confirm if this is one is good to go?
Or should I just get voltage regulator and rebuild it at a local shop?

It looks right, but my ship weight was 17lbs, why is there's 15.
