tonight the battery light started flickering on the turbo when i let the revs drop, not everytime but occasionally. doesnt stay on on idle or anything tho. also does it when i press the sunroof switch and hold it after its fully closed/open if you get me

is this more than likely my alternator is shot? or on its way out at least

cheers

Could it be a slipping belt?

aparently you dont even have to remove the alternator to change the regulator.

not tried myself but a friend says he's done it
