Turns out the alternator was dying. The battery was no longer charging, and the pulley took a lot of force to turn over, hence the resistance upon coasting.
After replacing the alternator, everything worked fine! For a week. Then the issues came back. Turns out I didn't properly do the nuts for the live wire, so make sure it's snug!
I got a Hella 100amp from LRDirect ($270 shipped UK->USA) and did the same extra charging cable mod. Very happy with it.
I changed my old valeo 90amp to hella 120amp about a month ago and it works perfectly, so you'll probably be fine.
The OE part made by Hella (so the company skoda contracted to make the genuine part) was €240!
