Default "Charging Failure"

Hi Peoples,

I have a 2011 V60 D3 5 cylinder.

Recently i have the "charging failure - Service Urgent" alarm on the screen.

I have checked the battery voltage at tickover and its only 12.6v, which suggests the alternator isnt doing anything.

It looks pretty easy to change, my question is, are these alternators self contained, or are they controlled from the car itself? and could my problem actually be something else electrical.

The reason i question it being the alternator is it happened within 5 miles of driving though some pretty large puddles (6" deep and 10m long") after last weeks flooding.

Cheers
