I'd try doing a hard reset, which can often solve underlying issues...

Did you fit a Denso alternator or a pattern one? I and others have had this with the cheap alternators.06 D3 SE / 15 LR D90 XS SW / 88 LR 90 Td5 / 68 BMW 2000 ti
Any issues with the site let me know!

What is the battery voltage when you start, too low will give these symptoms and indeed any voltage spikes
