Heads up on cheap premium 096 battery

With winter coming on / having a few starting problems first thing ( battery too low ,but ok after charger on for half an hour, suggseting it's not retaining charge) , I looked round for a new battery. Most places suggest that an 027 is the right battery, but last time I bought one ( nine years ago) I got a decent deal on what a local fast fit place thought was the correct battery- an 096. Certainly fits in the battery tray of mine (1.4tdi) .

What I found was that most places suggest correct battery is an 027, with one place offering 027 or 096. Then there's price. And this might be of interest to those with the larger diesel engine . GSF car parts offer a Yuasa 3096 78AH / 680 CCA premiumn battery with a four year warranty for £68.34. Lot cheaper than the budget batteries from other motor factors.
