Flat battery - a successful conclusion

Recommended Posts

Woke this morning to a flat battery, no warning, just flat. Alternator is charging, possible battery drain somewhere but looking at the condition of the battery I went ahead and bought a new one.

 

So for your information I bought a Bosch Silver 61Amp. This was confirmed by VW this morning as the correct one. Not at £61 + vat it's not :x

 

Phoned round and was told the 61Amp is correct for the C by an independant supplier so I snapped their hand off at £45 + vat.

 

Seems to be working fine now and the car drives slightly better :)

Bosch Silvers are a good choice... had some nasty old one on my Corrado 16v, but after a few spells of leaving the lights on and a really cold winter it just nailed it. Bought a new Silver 61AMP (same as you!) - no trouble after that :)

 

Current Corrado is also equipped with a Silver :D

Checked my old battery this morning after charging it last night and leaving off charge overnight.......was down to about 10.8v

 

Drives like a different car now, no jerkiness and sounds smoother.
