I believe that the output for VW's is 13v or so.  I think 14.4v is another 
standard.

I am fairly certain that the standard is the standard, regardless of vehicle.  
It has more to do with being able to charge the battery at an acceptable rate 
than anything else.  I just measured my GTI with defogger, high beams, and 
blower on high, and got the following results...

                           No load       Under load
Battery + to chassis       13.78V        13.56V
Alternator + to chassis    13.76V        13.67V

I am surprised at the amount of drop that Mark R. is getting from the 
alternator to the battery.
