Battery SAMSUNG or OEM Volkswagen

I've been running an OEM VW battery for a good solid 4 yrs + with no problems.

Just wanted to update for the sake of others wanting to change their own battery. I went ahead and picked up a new battery from the VW Stealership for $150 (after tax and disposal fee's) It was exactly the same as the one i took out.

Yes it does sit inside of the frame rail. When my A2 was a daily driver year ago, I ran the same battery. The battery fit perfect and did not hit the power steering bottle at all.

I decided to stop by the dealer today and check if they had any. Sure enough they did but wanted $15x.xx for it. I mentioned that I had found a lower price online but didn't want to wait for shipping to my surprise they offered to sell it to me for $126. I was really happy with that so I bought it and installed it this afternoon. So for anyone that may dig up this thread searching in the future, 000 915 105 DE fits and works great in a mk2 :thumbup:

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.

I noticed too, i mean, it's worse but it's not that bad, with the tab s6 I could do from 9 to 10 hours sot, sometimes even 12.

With the tab s7+ I can do 8-9 hours sot, so not that bad

A little. I've had the tablet for a couple of days only, but it seems to be around 7 or 8 hours at most. And that is with dark theme and around 25 or 40 percent brightness.

I did keep the 120hz and it's for mixed use with mostly video playback.

So far it's the worst thing about the tablet, but the rest is excellent.

VW Factory battery from the dealers are over rated, they lasted about 3 years... Disappointed... and over rated.

Was getting similar specs as op when a few days ago it seemed to have just lost its amazing battery life.

Went from 4 days w/o charge to about 1.5 days.
