Got a 1999 Jetta TDI.
Lights dimmed, lost power, required a tow. Prior to, my new battery never charged above 12.8 volts. So I assume my alternator needs replacing.
I understand that there are a lot of sketchy alternators out there, icluding Bosch. I've really had it with bad parts. Can anyone recommend a reliable source or make that I should purchase? And are there any other parts that I should replace along with the alternator? I'm going to have a mechanic do the work because I haven't time right now.
Thanks
