Negative guys it's never done it i.e. Momentarily come on when the engine is started.

BTW I got the battery checked n it was showing between 10-11volts. Techs say ABS coming on n going out after engine is started indicates not enough voltage for ABS to run its scan when ignition is switched on hence it coming on again when engine is started.

The current battery was 6.11 years old so I decided to replace it before it gives up the ghost without notice. I think this is a long enough life for the original battery.

However I have a query regarding the new battery purchased from the VW dealer for $276.

Old Battery Code: IJ0915105AD - 12V61Ah330A DIN.

New Battery Code: VW000915105DE -
12V 61Ah 330A.

The new battery size is smaller than the original battery?? Even though the rating is the same. Has battery technology advanced that smaller batteries carry the same cranking capacity as the bigger original battery that came with the car in 2007??? I always thought that the 1.9TDI battery would be bigger than it petrol engines counterpart??
