Are alternators and Voltage regulators covered undered the 10yr/100k part of the warranty?

Thanks,
Rick

P.S. how is the sexy Alfa?

Wife's '99 Jetta (with 13K miles!) recently had a bad bearing noise coming from the right side of the engine near the accessories. Dealer warned me that if it was the alternator or A/C compressor, we'd be charged for the repair. Luckily (?) it turned out to be a bad timing belt idler which is part of the engine and warrantied.

that are internally lubricated by oil or cooled by water.

For '02, the VW warranty gets changed. See VW vortex for details.

The 164 was rear ended - getting fixed next week ( the Integra that hit, was a write-off ). The 75 ( Milano w/164S motor ) has a new carbon kevlar clutch and is going to Streets of Willow this weekend. The Milano Verde is in the garage waiting for time to replace the timing belt and tune-up.
