When I worked at AutoZone we carried the OEM Bosch battery, and it was about the price of the Duralast Gold.
I bought a Bosch 48-700B from Pep Boys. The guy that helped me knew a lot about batteries and looked up the right one in the computer without any problem.
Bosch battery from Pep Boys here in Raleigh, NC was $89. A couple lights were on the dash after I replaced it, and I called the dealer. They said after driving about 50 miles or so, all the electronics reset themselves. With tax, it cost me $96 and about 15 minutes to change the battery.... The Bosch battery I bought was actually a couple lbs lighter than the factory A4 battery as well...
You can also pick up a Bosch battery that fits for around $120 at Pep Boys. I changed out the battery on my 02 about 6 months ago and other than waiting a day for the power windows to reset there was nothing else that needed resetting.
Jack on my visit the battery was also replaced. Part# 000-915-105-CE. They also replaced two modules that were causing a drain on the battery.
The VW service called yesterday (I took my car in that morning) and stated the battery (driver side) was bad, and was replaced ($347, if not in warranty). Other battery OK.
