hello, first im sorry if my english is bad. my girlfriend have a yaris verso 1.3 vvti 2000-model. she have had some problems with the car the last few weeks. while driving, the car will start jumping, the lights in the dash starts to fade, and in the end the engine stops. first guess for us was that there was some sort of charging issue, we did measure the battery and the voltage dropped from about 13V to 11.5V in a few minutes while the engine was running. so earlier this week we changed the battery, that didnt fix the problem(the car was functioning as normal as long as there was good voltage on the battery). today we changed the alternator/generator(not sure what the english word is), she drove about 60-70 kilometers and boom the same problem is back. what can be the reason for this problem?

something other that i just remembered, the belt that goes around the alternator/generator was changed some more weeks ago, can this have had an effect on causing the problem?
