My 95 TSI AWD has always had the voltage running 13.2 to 13.7 while cruising at highway speeds. While coming home yesterday, I noticed that the voltage was at 14.3 to 15. The issue is that now my interior lights and headlights look like they are surging. I haven't done anything to the car lately and the lights were fine when it was running at the lower voltage. Both the battery and alternator are fairly new and I don't have a system or anything like that.
 
It's not a terrible idea to test the alternator, new or not.
Otherwise there's always the voltage regulator.
