    It should be 3 years Brad. Yes, that battery fits into a lots of VAG cars, most 4 cylinder TDI or TSI, newer ones anyway.

    You're right there aren't manufacturer's controlled workshops for service and repairs in Australia. All dealers are just the franchises.

    Is it done any different elsewhere for vehicles all us normal folk can afford? (ie: I assume Mclaren, TVR, Morgan, etc might well be factory controlled workshops).

    I work in a different industry where the manufacturer also runs the sales, support and service business for the country.

    This way the manufacturer has a more direct control over the customer experience than outsourcing to a third party company.

    I'm not too upset about having to buy a new battery. Of course I would like it to have lasted longer though if it had gone at the start of winter instead it would have been better financially to have it replaced under warranty.

    For the record I'm now running a Fiamm Titanium Plus L264+

    I'll have to keep your batteries in mind Miro for future.
