Yeah, an alternator can cause funny things to happen. If the alternator was producing over voltage, the battery light would likely not illuminate. Try to buy a brand new valeo unit if you can. Strangely I found a brand new unit on ebay for about 300 if memory serves. That finally fixed all charging system woes.
