Just decided to buy a new battery, faced with the fact the beetle one died yesterday i've removed the van one and i'm gonna put it on the beetle - i'm not 100% convinced the battery on the van is duff - it may not be great but it's deffo better than the beetle one, this gets me out of a hole with the beetle for now and means the van gets a new one that is bigger. i did a bit of research on the old e-blag and picked a VARTA 74ah cca680 096 type http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/110911261030?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
went to gfs or is it gsf, yeasterday, quoted 32 for a battery with a 2 yr guarentee, and a boch 3 yr at 51 quid i got 10% off being in a vw club.
new 096 just arrived, less than 24 hours after paying and even though it said free 48 hour delivery it's here, let's hope the van starts better now, highly reccomend that seller on eblag!
