I run the Bosch replacements (not Icons) that use the button mount as factory not an adaptor. They're great, swap 'em yearly in the cold states.

I tried to correct with a new and proper group size battery - it had an OE 140A Bosch alternator and starter with a 2016 El Cheapo battery that was one group size too small so I replaced the H5 with a new H6 group and all was good for a few days... I also replaced the starter just because I like to spend $ and wanted a clean slate as this a vehicle I intend to keep and drive daily as needed. The new battery/starter work great but I noticed right away that the voltage while at idle was now almost a full 2 volts lower than before changing any of the afore mentioned parts. I have a P3 dash vent gage that reads to 0.1V and I use a VOM plus VCDS so I know the P3 reads OK. Before changing any parts the P3 read 13.5 to 14.4 volts steady depending upon what accessories were on. After the H6 battery the P3 read 11.5 to 12.5 volts under the same driving conditions. I tried to get the OE alternator bench tested but that did not work so I just went with a new reman Bosch unit. No change in voltage with the new alt... So this past weekend the motor fired up just fine and the dash vent P3 gage display was 12.5V but while driving around town running errands the voltage kept dropping all the way down to 9.0V which caused the DSG to lock and basically leave me stranded miles from home. I will try to get the entire electrical system load tested this weekend but for now I just keep a tender on the batter at night as I do not drive much during the week nor do I commute. The tender keeps the battery at 13.0V reliably.
Pros: new battery/starter work great
Cons: voltage lower than before

The pulley on my 2015 Golf failed last week, and I had oil (grease from inside the pulley, actually) all over in exactly the same location as your photo shows. Also, the protective end cap came off the end of the alternator pulley - I found it down below, sitting on the top of the plastic pan under the engine. With that cap missing, it is possible to look inside the center of the pulley and see the splines on the bolt holding the pulley on the end of the alternator. The bad news: VW does not sell the pulley as a replacement part, you have to replace the entire alternator, which is a $1,000+ repair.
Cons: pulley failed, grease leak, cap detached, expensive replacement
