Mend Polo Vw Alternator Problem

Vw polo 1.4 alternator problem? or not?

My 2004 vw polo, aternator symbol light came on while driving and then the ecu light,not long after all the electrics failed and would not turn over to start..
I charged the battery and measured the voltage as the the car started ok, but keeping an eye on the meter i saw the voltage dropping gradually, is it the alternator?..somebody help..and are alternators difficult to replace, I also noticed a tiny flashing spanner light over on the rh side of the dash....grateful for any help

put a voltmeter onto your battery,should read 14v+,anything less and your alternator wiring looks ok then replace the alternator

have you checked the belt is not slipping, if ok, have your alternator checked, look in yellow pages for your nearest techie.

hope it helps
