    Hi,

    After 2 weeks not using the car it didn't start up so called recovery to jump start it on the drive (their battery pack didn't do the job, so they had to connect their van directly to the battery in the boot) - in the end it started up.

    The technician did some diagnostics and advised the battery needs replacing - car is a 62 plate and don't think its been replaced before or is this sales patter from the technician?

    Currently connected it up to my c-tek on trickle charge

    Question is do we think this will regenerate the battery enough along with some continued use and need not replace? - on a side note I may leave it on trickle charge as I am using another car more regularly.

    The cost for a new battery from audi totals £486! with labour and programing, if I do need a replacement can anyone suggest a more reasonable fitter?

    as a consequence the spoiler is stuck in the up position with the error warning on the instrument cluster

    Thanks in advance!

    I wouldnt pay anyone that to change a battery! Thats crazy! Get the battery power rating and get a motorfactors to supply the same type. There will be the battery manufacturers code on a sticker (not a part number!) and if you get a like for like number I cant see a problem needing coding. The code is generally only maybe 5-6 characters long, and is usually along with the name...eg: Varta ######
