hi all

my sister’s 2003 Golf TDi is all of a sudden showing battery light intermittent, with intermittent clicking/bearing-getting-ready-to-go noises from up in the alternator area (noise happens in sync with the batt light)

I threw a charger on it and the batt was at 12.4v and 75%

took it up to 100% and 13.8 on overnight trickle

I assume her alternator is getting ready to STB

is there anything else that would create these symptoms?

thanks for any suggestions,

Rolf in MA
