I'm using a Bosch Group 48 battery (it is 26 months old now) from Pep-boys. Their testing machine result says 'good battery' The guy at the store said, it was as good as a new one.
new bosch battery
Bosch Battery from Pep Boys 80 Bucks with a 20 dollar rebate. OEM fit.
I've done all the scheduled maintenance on the car over the last 6 months including: Bosch S5 Battery
The best replacement battery i use in all my Vw's and other cars and trucks is Bosch..They are usually right over 100 bux but the are dependable, They also come with a 7 year warrenty.
Just get a good battery from a known "brand" manufacturer (Bosch, etc) - they will last much longer than a supercheapie
I got a Bosch Battery from Pep Boys. It was 90 bucks but it has a KILLER warranty. I forget exactly but it has road side assistance. 3 year free replacement and like 7 year total I think. Fit PERFECTLY. It looked exactly like the old stock battery other than the acid level thingy.
Mine went at 32K...just crapped out on me one morning. Luckily I work part-time at a Tire/Battery Garage. Put in an Energizer group size 47 (as stated above)
Aside from getting a defective Bosch battery that was replaced for fre I've never had a problem with either.
Now...my new Bosch battery I just bought for my 91 GTI...that thing is a POS. I should have bought an optima
