Battery help

Featured Replies

My car is due a new battery. The original is still in. The car is a 2013 MK3 2.0 TDI with start stop. Will the one attached be suitable?

That should be grand. All depends on whether you have stop/start on your car. If you do, you ideally need to code in the battery (to tell the ECU) that you have a new battery, the capacity and battery type. If you don't have stop/start, its just an easy swap....and yes, the 096 battery is the correct type for your car.

Thank you. Yes it has stop start. I have topdon carpal and can do a battery swap with that I believe.

Thanks again

Make sure you still have the correct AGM mode selected and make sure you put in the serial number of the battery (its bad form to just put in zeros or ones into the serial number) and make sure you tell the alternator of the new capacity too.
