Have you put a voltage meter to the alternator output when
it happens?  That would confirm the alternator's health.

I don't know if the C4 S cars have it, but the Type 44 200s
have a splice in the cable between the battery and ...
alternator? jumper post? The splice is under the passenger
footwell/kick panel. Anyway, the splice corrodes, causing a
drop in voltage.  There is a write-up in the quattro archives
on how to correct it.
