[Vwdiesel] blinking alternator light ??

[Rolf Pechukas]

hey all
my 93 Eurovan DIESEL was doing something weird last night
battery/alt light was coming on intermittently, faint, then bright,  
then in between, etc
tach would zoom up to normal, then falter, then die, then back up...
I checked belt - fine, tight
all electrical connections seem OK
thoughts about what might be happening? it's been COLD here last 2  
nights
are these symptoms of a dying alternator?
or am I not trouble-shooting hard enough?
thanks for any thoughts
