I purchased a new oem battery today. The 12v 92ah AGM 850A EN/ SAE 520A. Hopefully this solves my current issue. I'll know a little better in the morning on my way to work. At least my key fob works from greater distances now.
clean battery post and wires reconnect them and ensure they aRe tight get the voltage tested for free at these automotive stores. 12v when not running, 14v when car is running.
The best replacement battery i use in all my Vw's and other cars and trucks is Bosch..They are usually right over 100 bux but the are dependable, They also come with a 7 year warrenty.
OEM Volkswagen of America has the best battery for your Corrado. It's currently $110 and worth that ****. You look at the top of my battery, it says Manfacture Date December 2005. This thing has gone through hell and back. Everytime, it has cranked that starter with no issue.
i had my left side battery replaced about a year ago and i watched the shop (not a dealer) do it. the starter battery was not disconnected, the hardest part seemed to be lifting the battery out (fits tightley in there and isn't feather light).
Just get a good battery from a known "brand" manufacturer (Bosch, etc) - they will last much longer than a supercheapie
I got a Bosch Battery from Pep Boys. It was 90 bucks but it has a KILLER warranty. I forget exactly but it has road side assistance. 3 year free replacement and like 7 year total I think. Fit PERFECTLY. It looked exactly like the old stock battery other than the acid level thingy.
I bought a Bosch for my car. Size 47. 600CCA at 0F, 750 at 32F (Part # S5531B) It's starts the car fine, but if the car has been sitting in the deep cold for 2 days.... it cranks a bit slow.
Anyway, I bought a new battery and everything was fine for several months. Yesterday my car did not start again. I put a charger on the battery and it started this morning. However, this afternoon it would not start again. I charged it again and went and had the charging system and battery checked out (all good).
Now...my new Bosch battery I just bought for my 91 GTI...that thing is a POS. I should have bought an optima
