    I had some issues with my Passat. Whenever I left the car and came back to it later, I had to jump start it to get power. To address this problem, I went to AutoZone where they checked and confirmed that the battery was low and I was also getting low power from the alternator. Since the car had...

    I messed up. Went to replace the thermostat housing and broke the alternator connector in the process. The connector pins appear unharmed, just the plastic housing. (I saw another thread where someone broke the connector too but he could hold it on with string as a temporary fix, jealous as F)...

    ‘03 GLS V6 Replaced ‘bad’ battery but next day new one was dead. Alternator tested 0V output at the shop. Fix it myself. Put the front end in service mode. Pigtail for the alternator is gone, single blue wire hanging down beside the alternator. Well no wonder it was 0V output. Can’t find...

    2004 V6 4motion Hi folks, My story begins about 12~13 months ago. I'll state the facts, and you can tell me if these issues are from a possibility of one source, or if I may likely have multiple problems. 13 months ago the car would sometimes need more than one turn of the key to crank, until...

    I went through all 700 steps to get to the alternator and have removed the two mounting bolts for the alternator itself, but the alternator still doesn't seem to want to budge. I thought it would just kinda fall out, but I can even seem to move it by hand. Any suggestions? The two bolts I...

    Hello. 2005 glx wagon V6. Driving today an alert beeped on the dash and my battery light came on. I continued on my way home and as I drove more and more warning lights came on and I could tell the battery was draining. Eventually the car started losing power and I had to pull into a lot. I...

    So my friend has been back and forth with this mechanic (not a VW specialist) like five times, because the problem never seems completely fixed. I don't know much about it, and I'm totally unfamiliar with the 1.8T, other than it also has an accessory belt (unlike my V6). So after all this...

    So I’m looking at swapping the stock 90amp alternator on my car for a 120 amo which I know is a direct fit. I just found out that there is a 150 amp alternator. Does anyone know if the 150 is a direct fit aswell. My reason for changing the alternator out is with my audio setup, the voltage is...

The battery is almost 2 years old. I took the car...

    So...out for a sunday drive. Alternator workshop message flashes up with the usual VW beep. No noticeable difference in the way it drove, just what sounded like a slipping belt. Thought ok...turn around head home and take a look. Opened the bonnet and was shocked to see the alternator pulley had...

    What's so embarrassing about an alternator that they had to hide it like that on my 2000 Passat with a 2.8?
