Battery/Alternator problem

[willv]

Hey guys,
JUst wanted to get some advice here as well.
I also have the same problem when I bought the machine first back in May 2008 - seemed like the car wouldn't start and took it to get the battery changed but the guy tested it and wasn't the battery - took it back to where we bought it and they fixed it but stupidly didn't ask what it was ...
Since then, nothing but issues and finally figured it was the throttle which we replaced ($$$) ... now the car needs to be jump started and has been playing up with the "Alternator Workshop' beeping every second 30 minutes into a drive - even acting up like it did when we needed the throttle replaced (engine running at 1-2 revs by itself when in idle) ... we now need an alternator replaced for my Volkswagen Passat V5 2003. Anyone have any ideas where and how much one of these bad boys will cost us?!

Thanks guys. - Happy for you Micah that you got yours fixed!

You want to get a Alternator fixed for a 2003 Passat? You may want to go to the Passat thread.
I got my 18 year old alternator rebuilt for $160, go to an auto electrician and ask for a quote on an alternator rebuild for that model car.
