The CPO warranty is _not_ a bumper to bumper warranty, doesn't match the
original factory warranty, and doesn't cover wear items. That said,
sounds like the car wasn't properly certified by the dealer before it
was sold. (did you have anyone inspect if prior to purchasing it?)

Don't have the dealer do all the work, as their costs are typically 50%
above what a qualified independent shop would charge.

Get the alternator replaced and then have it flat-bedded somewhere else.

The region-specific forums on audiworld.com are a good place to ask
around for shop recommendations.
