Next battery I am going to put in my Passat is going to be something made by Exide . I mentioned before that I changed my OE battery in the winter 2007-2008, was concerned with low temperatures of this winter, but battery seems to do very well, started at 9*F and still work without a problem.
I just got a new 47-36 battery made by Exide. The vent tube routes as Dr. Bob describes, and the clamps fit perfectly. My only issue with the new battery is that the vent caps are way at the back and may be hard to reach.
You were right in saying the battery was weak. More or less the battery was beat like a baby seal, so I replaced it with a preimum Exide unit
