Battery OEM Honda or OEM Volkswagen

A battery from VW was actually cheaper and had a better warranty than what Advance was trying to sell me. So I just bought the battery from the dealer, installed myself, then returned the old one for the core refund.

Since replacing my battery on 12/18 this code has not returned. The only symptom I've noticed is it appears my battery is going. When I start it in the morning it struggles and then is ok the rest of the day. However just leaving the radio on, without the car being on, for 20 mins or so will drain the battery and the car will barely turn over.

Been meaning to post an update on this little saga... Eventually decided to get the LH battery replaced about a month ago and has completely cured the electrical problems. The car feels like new again and I love it again.

My Passat still has the battery it came with lol 6 years in the Arizona weather, I'd say that's pretty good.

My Jetta is a 99 and I've replaced the battery once. The first lasted 6 years and the second is still going at almost 7 years. Unless I'm lucky factory batteries will last longer than store brand.

it was just over 115 for the battery at the dealer, install was easy, as soon as you get creative it could become more difficult. for the money its not a bad battery

I installed a new battery but now the car won't start or turn over.

The stock VW battery in my Jetta was 380CCA, and it started on super cold mornings alot quicker/easier than this 600CCA Everstart ive got in there now.

On the other end of the spectrum, the eGolf sucks. It wasn’t good when new and I can’t imagine spending that kind of money to repair it.

I think I went over 60 days without my 2016 Golf R due to a dead battery. A bunch of us had battery issues, I want to say around 2 years, and VW switched production or something. Batteries were out of stock and waiting on new production from Germany.
