It was the voltage regulator.

In the category of "no good deed goes unpunished" last weekend my buddy and I were helping jump a car and he hooked up the cables backwards. He grabbed them to swap the clamps and they were already fire hot. I'm sure that killed my alternator. It just took a few days to show up.

Stupid VW has a RED cable on the negative terminal.
