RE: Passat 3C Replacement Battery

[jazd]

Anyone got a quote recently for the 000 915 105 DG?

I just got quotes from two dealerships for $290 and $285 which seems a bit steep given others got them for $230.

Can you get the Varta batteries from any other outlet?

P.s. they are only like $120 in the states. Bloody Australia premium.

I will just use the Century batteries in our VW's. I'm happy with their quality and 3 years warranty.

I think this is the correct one for me -
Century Batteries Australia

Its got a slightly lower CCA (660) than the OEM at 680. But its higher than the old OEM which is currently in my car which is only 570. Should be OK then I guess. Might see what price they are locally.

You could also go for this one Century Batteries Australia . It is a bit longer and it could fit. The pricewise, it should be $20 or so more.

Sorry, got Optima confused with Odessy.
Odessy are the small type batteries.

Both are excellent though and last for years. When the time comes for a new battery I'll happily pay the extra for an Optima.

Got the Century DIN65LH heavy duty battery from a place on the next block from me, $180 and they put it in for me.

Anyone bought a battery for a 2.0 TDi PD recently in Vic - where and price? Coming up to six years on the way out.

I replaced the original 6.5 years old Varta battery in my B6 TDI today with a SuperCharge Gold MF66H, which has the exact same dimensions (190mm height) as the old one. Price was $174 here Online Batteries - Products - SuperCharge Car Batteries - Gold series 3yr WarrantySuperCharge MF66H - MF66H plus $10 for courier delivery and deposition of the old one. So far, so good.
