good. 2014 vw tdi with 360k on the clock and on the second battery. start/stop works just as fine as when i first got it.
I had U350100 as a soft fault in my Tiguan's system for a while about a year ago. I had it throw a hard fault and CEL for the same code twice. I found this to be caused by a fatiguing main battery. Not able to hold a high enough charge constantly to keep all the systems happy. I replaced and coded the replacement battery (000-915-105-CC-DSP) from VW. Made sure to change it's coding to know it was an AGM battery I installed in the Tiguan. Fault has not returned since.
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 have the S8+ and haven't had any significant battery issues at all. I've even enabled that setting to prolong battery health by having the maximum battery percentage by 85%.
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.
I actually like this change. It's telling me the actual battery charge. What I don't like is at least on my S 8 Ultra is it hits 85%, then starts discharging the battery. The battery gets as low as 81% before charging again. Personally I think this charge / discharge cycle is going to be more harmful long term than just charging to 100% and holding there. So I ended up turning it back off.
I have the same tablet and I can confirm that the battery life is quite bad. I am flabergasted how any who has done a 'review' on it managed to get almost 10 hours of battery.
I did a few battery rundown test with lowest and maximum brightness and I could not get more than 3-4 hours at best watching YouTube videos.
the battery in my 2016 died while JUST inside the 36k warranty. the OEM replacement lasted another 30k or so. bought an AGM replacement from Costco, but I don't expect it to last any longer.
