Re: alternator overcharging the system
voltage regulator in the alternator is broken. the alternator puts out more than 12 volts, but the regulator basically tells it when to send juice to the rest of the system.
we had this problem on my roommates mkIII supra, it was registering 16 volts every time he hit the gas, and was blowing fuses and causing all kinds of mischief
