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 replaced mine also with the G14 and no problem at all, so it should work or your old battery broke becasuse of a defective module jorg
Here is a picture of the left battery that the factory put in my W12 when it was new. As you can see, it is labelled both 'Varta DE' and 'VW AG'.
I have mine VARTA battery since the car was made in 2006. Works like a charm. Great Batteries.
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
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.
Service guy just stopped over and confirmed the battery was bad. Replacement installation in progress.
