Had my '18 R since May '18 and still on original battery, 25 mile commute to work each way about 1/2 hwy . At 57,000 miles.
OEM battery in my 2016 Jetta with 215k miles is still going strong.
In Mar 2022 I went to the dealer and got a new VW battery for my GTI $151. Not knowing any better, I simply swapped it in the parking lot - I did use a OBD-II device to keep circuits alive while the battery was disconnected. All worked like it should.
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.
Adding my experience here for others that may stumble upon the thread. I was having really bad+inconsistent battery life with my left and then right buds, where they would die in less than hour. I replaced the both earbuds original batteries with the Varta CP1254 A3 battery and also did a hard reset.
It took a little over an hour to do and finally the battery life is decent again. I was able to run them for a good 3 hours on noise canceling with max quality settings and it's a night-and-day difference.
I've had some good luck with OEM Vw therye where either Varta or another OEM factory battery. 7 years on one...and also 3 years till 50%, lots of variables, to make a battery last or not last.
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.
I just now successfully replaced the battery with a varta cp1254 a4 due to the right one going bad after a year of use, testing it for a few hours now and it worked!
Mine crapped out at 34 months. I bought a new one from VW since they had a 5-year warranty on it and it's still going...
On the other end of the spectrum, the eGolf sucks. It wasn’t good when new and I can’t imagine spending that kind of money to repair it.
