My car died last night at a parking lot, and I fear an expensive repair is looming. I believe it will be the alternator because that light came on. The car is a passat which has 107000 miles and has only had a battery replaced up until now. Any idea how much money I will expect to pay if it is the alternator? What about estimates for an electrical repair and is that the same issue?
 
In modern cars a light can come on to indicate a fault in different areas not just the alternator. Did the light give any indication at all of the problem using your car manual? You need to get roadside assistance or a mechanic or someone with some knowledge of cars to have a look at it and find out what the problem is. Let's know the outcome.
 


New alternators are available on Ebay, (along with myriad other sites) for as little as £55 ......

Reconditioned ones would be even cheaper and if you are in any way handy with a spanner it should be no more than a hour on a Sat. morning to change it. Plenty of vids on Youtube to show you how.
