Chris 0 Posted July 14, 2008 im trying to find a car battery bag/cover, the leather/fabric type with poppers holding the top down. i cant find one any where! all my local scrapys have the batteries away when then come in so none found there, and ebay has only turned up one result which was unfortunately too big for my battery. i even asked halfords and places like that, they had no idea. Dare i ask a vw dealership? any ideas guys? im after something like this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted July 14, 2008 VW dealer is likely to be the only place to get one. I'm due to go over to my friendly local VW dealer in the next hour or so (need a new ignition switch!) so can ask about a price for you whilst i'm there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vornwend 0 Posted July 14, 2008 This is on my list of things to get from VW. I think the part number is 3578915411C and say its for a 60amp battery. Be interesting to see a price and (probably depressing!) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim 2 Posted July 14, 2008 Actually not as expensive as I expected - just under £22 all in (£21.60'ish) - so not too painful :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

craigowl 0 Posted July 14, 2008 The cover on my battery is fastened with Velcro tabs, not press buttons. It is black and I believe to be original with the car (1995 Storm). Any one else got that type? (I realise this is such trivial tripe I am asking now :cuckoo: , but thought I'd ask anyway! :sleeping: :lol: ) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
