    Golf alternator problem

    Hi I have a golf cabriolet 2001 2.oL AGG engine 160,000km's, the car wouldn't start flat batttery. Jumped started the car got it home just. Bought a new battery, but is discharged, the alternator/battery light was glowing dim on the intruments cluster. When I turn the key to on (before start) the battery symbol does not light, after the car starts the battery light is glowing very dim. Could this be the regulator? Thanks
