I'm going to replace the battery on my 2006 Fabia Vrs looking at the one currently fitted I can see 096 on the top of the battery so would this be the correct one for my car? As I've seen some fit the 027 to later cars.

I have just swapped a battery over thats 2months old from another car, its this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Promax-Infinity-096-72ah-680cca-Car-Battery-/281563091348?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item418e77d194

 

Works fine so far :P

the 1 i bought retailed at £160 with a 5yr guarantee better to buy quality but once 

Go to TPS they sell the original one for £50 . Straight swap job done

the 1 i bought retailed at £160 with a 5yr guarantee better to buy quality but once 

 

There is a 4 year warranty with mine, Define quality? £110 for brand name + 1 year extra warranty.. im sure they will both be good for 10 years :P.

I've just put this in mine

I've checked my battery and the insulated jacket is missing and a 096 battery is fitted.

Would my car (2006) originally come with 027 battery fitted?

I can't decide if I should fit a 096 or 027 battery??
