I will be surprised if they replace your battery under warranty, if it is within the first year maybe.. very happy if you get the thumbs up

I will be surprised if they don't. My battery died last month 2.5 years into warranty period. Call vw assist and had a new battery within an hour at no charge.

My battery died couple of weeks ago. Just out of original warranty (I got extended). No questions asked, brand new battery replaced within a day free of charge.

my R wouldn't start up last week... my fault for playing with the stereo (headlights on) for an hour or so with the engine off.
called the VW assist phone number on the windscreen sticker and they came around to jump start it (for free since car < 3 years old). all good since then and now i have a jump starter in my garage(which i'll take with me on long trips)

car is going in for 45K service this week so hopefully when they test the battery it shows signs of aging ?

Emergency! Mk6 Golf R -wont start!!!!!
So this morning when i went to start the car i put the key in and everything worked like normal, then when i went to crank it over, it made a tick tick tick noise and the epc, battery and engine light came on. The car still hasnt started. Dont know what the issue is, it almost seems to start resetting and starting the electrics all over again.
If anyone knows what the problem is or have any ideas please let me know ASAP
