varta

I have a 2016 T6 with a euro 5 caac engine, I've had the van for just over 5 years and have started to think the original starter battery may be nearing its reliable life. Does anyone know if a replacement battery of the same type and size (cca) etc need coding on my era of van. My concern is...

So, the fun continues. I thought OBD11 would help with with my battery setup, but apparently not so much on an IOS device. Nevermind. This is the information I am able to get. Does this look ok for a 2016 T6 140PS stop/start? The battery installed is a Varta 80Ah, see picture. Any of these...

A while back, a very nice man from VW Assist replaced my generally accepted as defective Moll battery with a new Varta one. Until recently, no concerns. However, in the last week or so, the van has been slightly reluctant to start....it always has, but sometimes without enthusiasm, if you know...

After a moment the starter kicks in very slowly, as if it is struggling without any charge in the battery. After what seems an age the engine finally chugs into life. Sometimes all is then...

Interesting one. I've had a few problems with my starter battery discharging (its a Varta, not a Moll so thats not the issue!). Basically my battery goes flat after around 5-7d inactivity. Thats pretty short imo. This was an issue before lockdown and is not just due to the extended hiatus. I've...

Just had my claim for a new starter battery (AGM) turned down because the parasitic voltage was excessive and is caused by the installation of a leisure battery. This was before I told them that the fuse to the leisure battery was removed but they stuck to their story and wanted to charge £115...

My van (April 2017 T28) is fitted with a Moll battery. I am experiencing some issues with it not starting after a few days sitting on the drive. Now this could be due to the tracker I have fitted draining it but I doubt it, I'll do some drain current tests before taking the plunge. If I were to...
