When you change/disconnect the battery you will have the dash light up....just drive it and they clear out once you hit ~10mph.
I used the duralast from autozone.
I use duralast and get about 4 years on a battery. No complaints at all.
Outback has a Duralast Gold. If it helps, we’ve had some harsh -30°f days the last few years since I upgraded my battery. No issues what so ever on it.
Tdi Touareg (mid 2000s) battery fits, with posts recessed and in the right place. Dealer price used to be like $115 and they are solid 900cca performers.
My original vw battery made it 8 years and 170k miles, but 10 years is pretty damn good!
Battery died July 2022. So got 3 years out of it. New battery is AGM (OEM VW from dealer). Stock battery was not AGM.
Got a Duralast (I'm not driving an hour round-trip to the f'ing dealer to overpay for a battery). Another inconvenience on newer cars that's completely unnecessary. Really aggravating. Hoping it clears itself out shortly.
VW Factory battery from the dealers are over rated, they lasted about 3 years... Disappointed... and over rated.
I've gone through two VW batteries in 32K miles under three years. They suck. Just replaced it with a Duralast Gold from Autozone which has a 3 year full replacement warranty and 5 year prorated.
