Well, after 7 years and over 150K miles, looks like my alternator is crapping out. I had to jump start the car Sunday night. After that the car ran fine and started up fine for a few days, and the weather was warm. Now that the weather is cold, the engine turns over a bit more slowly, which got me concerned. I had both the battery and the alternator checked at an alternator shop. The alternator failed the charging test at a little over 12V output.

The shop quoted me $270 parts and labor to replace it with a rebuilt alternator, which they themselves rebuilt. I think the price is reasonable.
I'm probably going to get the work done tomorrow. I could probably do it myself, but its close to the holidays and I don't REALLY feel like doing it and I know the power steering pump has to come off. But my question is this...

How many of you V70 GLT pilots have removed and replaced your own alternators and at what total cost?

How long did it take?
