Battery Panasonic or Bosch
If you have a PepBoys nearby, they have a Bosch that fits.
I have recently had both batteries replaced and the garage I use recommends Bosch as they have a 6 year ' no quibble ' (unlike VW) warranty . They are to the same spec as the Varta batteries and the right one is a 62ah normal lead acid type .
Dude save your money and chance battery yourself. I disconnected battery million times before and all i needed to do is "relearning window position". I bought Bosch group size 48 battery from Pepboys. It fits like glove and has 3 year warranty.
Alright so i picked up a bosch 750 cca battery and threw that in her on another -10 F day, cycled the glow plugs once and she fired up like it was a mid summer day. Hasnt given me any trouble since and its been nothing but cold here.
I'm using a Bosch Group 48 battery (it is 26 months old now) from Pep-boys. Their testing machine result says 'good battery' The guy at the store said, it was as good as a new one.
new bosch battery
Walmart everstart battery lasted about a year from my experience. This used car i bought came with a Bosch battery. it died right before 3 year free replacement. I took it to the pepboys and they gave new one for free.
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.
Aside from getting a defective Bosch battery that was replaced for fre I've never had a problem with either.
Now...my new Bosch battery I just bought for my 91 GTI...that thing is a POS. I should have bought an optima
