I have an A180 CDI Avantgarde 2005 (automatic). Have been driving it for 1 1/2 months without any problems. Last weekend I got the alternator error on the dashboard and drove it to the local garage. It appears now that the car won't move at all as there is a transmission problem. Can an alternator cause problems with transmission??? I've had no prior problems with it.

Low battery voltage will cause transmission issues, but if the battery is charged and the battery voltage is 14+v then it wont be the cause of the fault.
