I broke down a few days ago and had someone help me figure out that my alternator is busted so I need to know what kind of alternator do I need for a 2002 vw passat GLS with a 1.8l turbo engine, also do I need a new battery if the alternator wasn't charging it that whole time?

Charge the battery with a battery charger while you get the alternator replaced.
