Please ignore the background sound, its a nearby generator working. In video, you will see the startup problem that I am having in my New Beetle. Some times it starts off fine, runs fine and all good. And sometimes as you see during startup you can see a ESP & ABS lights solid on with Brake Light flashing. I am not sure what the problem is. Is it battery (Which is good and tested) is it the Alternator (Rear Coil Brushes replaced) or what could it really be. Expert opinions will be appreciated. My mechanic fixed it saying that its the alternator, but the problem is back. I want to personally understand the problem. Also note in the video, the dash lights go dim, suddenly bright and once bright the car starts off fine, if dim it will crank but not start. Ps: Ignore the Airbag warning, that's some loose contact in passenger seat, which is not of my concern as of now.
