Default Astravan alternator

2002, TDi common rail

Anyone know much about these? Not charging, same voltage as battery at the terminal on the front of the alternator. (so no broken cable)

What's the small plug on the front of the alternator for? Is it some sort of feedback for the charging system or something else? (heard rev counter mentioned online somewhere, but on an earlier model)

What are they like to change? Do you need to get under it, or can you manage it with swearing a lot from the top? Any special tools required for accessory belt tensioner etc?
