I have a VW Passat 2001 -old body style with 90K miles on it. Started to get BAT/ALTERNATOR light on intermittently with ALternator warning After two days of ignoring it the following happened
- ABS light came on
- Followd by passenger airbag
- Radio Switched Off
- Car kept running but DISPLAY dimmed away on the dash.
- Car lost engine power - was not able accelerate
I was able to pull the car into parking lot but not before teh power steering had stopped as well.
Seems like alternator just died. Do the symptoms add up to that. Is any other demage likely to have happned??
Thanks for your response
