Thought I would post this as I found it pretty unusual and maybe someone else will find it useful.
My allspace has about 3900km on it and out of nowhere showed a dash alarm
12 V battery not charging. Stop vehicle safely!
OBD11 error code was P1B0000 Generator
Mechanical malfunction
Threw a multimeter on the battery and was only measuring about 12.8v while running. (Was expecting 13.5-14) so immediately suspicious of the alternator.
VW service today confirmed faulty alternator. (Not the pully bearing the whole thing apparently)
Parts been ordered and hopefully I’m on the road again in a few days
Chime in if anyone has heard anything about a bad batch of alternators. Or was I just freak unlucky.
