Battery OEM Honda or OEM Volkswagen
When I experienced a sluggish start, it was the battery. In my experience, this car prefers Honda batteries. It’s been going strong for 3 years now. It’s also one of the more affordable batteries.
I still get my batteries from the dealership because they last the longest and cost the least, for some reason.
Finally got the LH Battery put in today.... Had been putting it off for a few months. It went a lot better than I thought it would, all things considered.
I have seen some test results on ID3 after 100000 km and still everything is quite good on the car. Battery is not damaged like on a cellphone if that is your worry.
My 2014 jetta TDI does the exact same thing as in your video when the battery is dying. I've had the car now for 6 years and it's happened 3 times. If the alternator checks out fine, then I would attempt a new battery.
Change it when it can no longer meat a battery test to spec, which has good margin before it starts causing issues, like freaked out ECU or hard starting.
Currently, a bit over 3 grand (labour included), at least for the Civic/Accord Hybrids.
I just preemptively changed my 2007 VW golf battery at 120k...I probably could have gone farther but every now and again I would get a weird code that likely was voltage relative.
On the day of delivery itself, the car wouldn\u2019t start. The dealership jump-started it and said there was a small battery issue, assuring me that it won\u2019t happen again. But from that day onwards, the vehicle has never been reliable.
I replaced the battery on my wives 2009 honda accord. Started her up and it made this awful sound the second the AC kicked on. Bogged down the engine and made it run rough. It has never had AC issues until now and I'm sure it's coincidence with the battery changeout.
