  1. How To Deal With Volkswagen Jetta Alternator Problems?

  2. What’s An Alternator?

  3. It’s an important part of your car’s charging system.

  4. Its mechanism allows it to convert the rotational energy of the engine into electric energy.

  5. By recharging your car battery, it fulfills the following objectives; • Energize the starter, ignition, and fuel delivery system • Power the lights, radio, and other electric accessories

  6. How Does An Alternator Work?

  7. It’s a kind of DC generator that works on the principle of electromagnetic induction.

  8. It has the following major components; • Pulley • Rotor assembly and stator • Rectifier • Voltage regulator

  9. Its pulley is linked to the engine’s crankshaft via a drive belt.

  10. As the crankshaft rotates, so does the alternator pulley and rotor assembly.

  11. Distortion in the magnetic field due to that rotation will generate alternating electric current.

  12. The rectifier then converts AC power to DC and feeds it to the battery.

  13. In the absence of a properly functioning alternator, your Volkswagen Jetta’s battery can starve to death.

  14. So, you should learn to recognize the signs of alternator failure in your car.

  15. By identifying the alternator problem, you can repair or replace it at the very beginning.

  16. Car Alternator Problems- What’s Causing It?

  17. Some of the plausible explanations for alternator failure in Volkswagen Jetta are as below; • Bad wiring • Blown fuse • Faulty pulley or belt • Improper installation • Using unsuitable one

  18. What Happens When An Alternator Fails?

  19. When your Volkswagen Jetta’s alternator goes bad, you might encounter some of the following signs.

  20. A properly functioning alternator essentially keeps your car battery fully recharged. • However, a faulty alternator won't be able to keep up with the energy demand of the battery. Completely Drained Battery • As a result of which, your Volkswagen battery might drain completely.

  21. The faulty alternator sign most drivers recognize is trouble starting the engine. Problem In Starting Engine • So, if your Volkswagen Jetta hesitates to start, there’s a good chance its alternator has gone bad.

  22. This is by far the most noticeable symptom of a bad alternator. • It usually means the drive belt that connects the alternator pulley with the crankshaft is loose. Strange Noises (Squealing Or Whining) • All you have to do is to replace that loose belt.

  23. Is your Volkswagen’s battery light illuminating? • If so, it signals a charging system issue in your car. Illuminated Warning Lights • Therefore, check if the alternator is working properly or not, if damaged get it replaced.

  24. It's the alternator that energizes the lights and other electrical appliances of your Volkswagen Jetta. Dimming Lights • If anything bad happens to the alternator, the lights might flicker.

  25. Wrapping Up

  26. The alternator essentially supplies necessary electric energy to your car’s electric system.

  27. Malfunctions in such a key part can bring your Volkswagen Jetta to a halt in the middle of the road.

  28. For that reason, if you're spotting any of the above-said signs, call your mechanic immediately.
