Alternator OEM Audi or OEM Volkswagen

It’s your alternator not the battery, the coding of the battery is important, but will only extend the life battery will not cause it to be dead in three days
Drove it for a day and the alternator crapped out. Installed a new one asap.
Pros: new one installed
Cons: crapped out
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
My 19 c8 3.0 had the same exact issue within 4 months of buying it last year. And the car died on me mid fwy in dtla. Take it in to ur nearby dealer theres an open recall on the alternator i believe.

Might be a coincidence, but those lights all came on about a month before the Electical System: Malfunction light came on in my 2021 S6. They replaced my battery and alternator.

It went out at 40,000 miles and was replaced without issue by the dealer which provided an A6 as a loaner for the week it took to replace the alternator. I still love the car and would not move to Mercedes
Pros: replaced without issue
Cons: went out at 40000 miles

My vehicle had this issue and they said it was because there was a bad batch of batteries in some of the models which was causing the alternator to fail. I had several issues with this vehicle around 50k miles such as failed alternator which was replaced because of the warranty but this should be a recall!!! Very dangerous and unreliable.
Cons: dangerous and unreliable
