The thing is that I personally rebuilt the alternator with bosch parts, it wasn't failing before but I had all the parts already and I was doing a bunch of work of the cooling system, so it was already out.

It worked flawlesly about 4 months until I went to the shop, they told me they didnt' remove the alternator and they checked all the plugs. I'm not so sure about this because from day 1 I lost my PS function, and it was bc they forgot to plug the PS.

Voltage has been checked by digital multimeter, scanners, oscilloscope, and OBC, never goes beyond 14.2V or below 12.9V (only during stops but this is due transmission), then 13.6V is constant.
