hi
When i start my A3 from cold there is a noise from the alternator, it sounds a bit like a lawn mower engine.. it stays for a couple of mins and then goes.

Does anybody know what is causing this?
I am thinking that people may say i will need to get a new one, are they expensive or labour intensive?

Cheers
