    I really like the Optima Yellow Tops, but you need to make sure you get one that fits, and it may require relocation of the fuses on top of the battery box. Get in contact with FHRX Studios for advice...
    Nothing to see here...

    I had one in my 205 GTi. Was great but was REALLY expensive.

    Have a search through my R32 thread for the details on what and how much I paid for my replacement.
    Cheers,

    When the battery in my VR6 went I essentially bought the next size up on what was already overkill... seems I still have something draining power though, two weeks sitting = no cranking

    On the upside, since it's in the garage it's easy enough to hook up the charger to top it up.

    VW OEM on mine. Seb recommended it and now issues at all.

    I think from memory it was about $250.

    My 2 cents.
