Personally, I have a fondness for Optima batteries, particularly the Yellow Top, in any vehicle where there are a lot of accessories to run, though I have a Red Top in my daily driver.
I don't know, but I just bought an Optima Red Top battery with a three year waranty sold at a store that has a store in every city.
I use optima. Highly recommend it too
Hrp: Optima. Best batteries out there. Have only had 2 since 2001! Red top, yellow and blue. Red should be sufficient unless you've got mega stereo. 800 watts.
I had U350100 as a soft fault in my Tiguan's system for a while about a year ago. I had it throw a hard fault and CEL for the same code twice. I found this to be caused by a fatiguing main battery. Not able to hold a high enough charge constantly to keep all the systems happy. I replaced and coded the replacement battery (000-915-105-CC-DSP) from VW. Made sure to change it's coding to know it was an AGM battery I installed in the Tiguan. Fault has not returned since.
When you change/disconnect the battery you will have the dash light up....just drive it and they clear out once you hit ~10mph.
I installed a new battery but now the car won't start or turn over.
Stay away from optima batteries unless your car specifies an AGM battery because they can be very problematic.
my 2009 had an optima and it only lasted 2 years
I have only had poor luck with optimas
