I have a varta that I've been using for 36 months now but the car is 100% parked indoors and never used for short trips where battery can't charge properly.
Bought VARTA 12V, 45/60 AH (not sure) battery with 20 months warranty for 230 Aed from New bharath pitstop, Al Qusais.
Go for Amaron or any battery with higher warranty period. Don't go for just 1 year as the weather in UAE is pretty harsh on batteries.
My MK7 is still rocking the Varta OEM battery from 2015 since new, and my MK4 has a "duralast" Gold H5 which has a 1/2016 stamp on it and it is still doing fine.
OK so today I picked up a battery from EuroCarParts, not a pukka VW one but a 100AH Exide Premium one with 5 year warranty. I've had good luck with Exide before so I was happy to go with it
So maybe your dealer does but we receive ours from interstate and have Varta branding on them.
I had an OEM VW battery made by Varta. It lasted from October 2005 to May 2014. It spent time in Michigan, Minnesota and northern Germany. I never had any problems with it.
The OEM battery is probably the best bang for the buck. I replaced mine with another OEM one after 7 years as a preventive measure. It was still performing fine.
Agree with everybody on here, change your battery - I had similar problems and others not mentioned, changed the battery and almost all problems disappeared.
AGM power supply/comfort battery replaced. Overall it went without a hitch. I had the choice of an Exide or a Varta AGM from Tayna Baatteries. The Exide with a price discount was about \u00a310 cheaper than the Varta, so I chose that one at \u00a3133 delivered.
my 2019 GolfR battery died recently. well, it wouldn't hold any capacity and had to be charged every few days. anyway, i had my warranty apppointment today at the dealer and stood outside for an hour. i was wondering why it took so long. the new battery is a 000.915.105.CB.DSP. hopefully the AGM battery will do better with mine too.
