Temporary solution is not touching anything and revving engine high enough so that alternator would self-excite, after starting the engine. I once had to do that - I was piloting my neighbours T4 2.4D with wire between alternator and indicator light broken - after we found out that the battery is flat and we had to push start the car, I figured out what is wrong, so for the rest of the ride after engine being stopped and restarted, I started with harder acceleration in first gear.
If your alternator doesn't respond instantly when not charging and engine being revved to 4-5k - I would suggest to inspect the alternator...
