Re: Battery Upgrade
i ended up going down the mercedes route with my golf, thier batteries are made to ridiculously stringent specs as the can system in them is so sensitive, like doc i fitted the rigid battery box, looks so much better and not expensive from vw either i think i was circa £40 for the 3 parts

Re: Battery Upgrade
On a 2011 caddy 2l tdi do most people use a 096 battery? Different sites keep telling me different batteries

Re: Battery Upgrade
I plan to change my battery to the 096 as you guys have done so, as I believe it's on the way out, I've also had a new genuine alternator fitted due to bearing noises..Doc wrote:Hi Alex,
I have a 096 battery in my Caddy and it fits the tray but not the soft cover.
I have fitted the ridgid battery box found on the earlier Caddys and golfs.
Any chance you could give me part numbers you used for the box in your caddy?? 3 parts so you say
Also just wanna make sure it will fit in my 1.6 2011 facelift 1.6 caddy 105bhp??
Thanks in advance

Re: Battery Upgrade
Have a look at Tayna batteries website if you're buying. Excellent service from them and quality batteries, not the usual crap from GSF or ECP. I just recently got a 096 Enduroline 78Ah after constantly suffering with battery drain during winter, that despite previously having a new battery from GSF. I've not suffered with any issues since fitting the new one. £80 I think I paid, well worth it.
It is a bigger sized battery si I'm interested if the battery boxes fit the larger size?

Re: Battery Upgrade
That's well priced!
Why did you choose that over the bosch one?
I want something that is juicy, won't let me down and will fit! Lol

Re: Battery Upgrade
Thank you
Very much appreciated
Think I found the link online aswell:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-Battery-B ... ctupt=true
This above link is NOT GENUINE but a good aftermarket so the seller say.
Will check with TPS though now and get this sorted
Thank you!!

Re: Battery Upgrade
Ill post on this page how I get on.
The Bosch 096 and the 096 Enduroline (the one which you have) are the same size from what I can see.
I opted for the Bosch, and I will will speak to TPS tomorrow to get the box so will keep you posted how it goes
From the previous members replies, all should go all ok
