That's what I used to do. At some point, I acquired an assortment of the various types of individual contacts for the electrical connectors on my '92. I had the proper extraction tools for the various types as well. The connectors which VW used on the Mk1& 2 cars were really problematic. With the advent of OBD in the US, they had to improve all that. As far as your charging issue goes, Chad may have hit your problem. The voltage regulator is mounted on the rear of alternator, and has a set of brushes which ride against a commutator, much as in a electric motor. Those brushes wear over time, causing problems. You may still be able to purchase a relacement regulator at the local auto parts store.
