Battery Help

Quick Question - what Battery do I need for a 2004 1.8T S-Line Quattro 190??

Would it be a Type 096 or a Type 027?


I normally order batteries from carbatteries-online.co.uk and its a bit vague as they list a 1.8T as 2000-2004 and 2004-on


I would check the car, but I don't get it till next week (and I know the battery is jiffed already) and want to stick the new battery on when I collect.


Thanks

Mate, you need a 067/096, avoid the 027 like the plague as they are much smaller and have far less capacity. I just changed the battery on my S-Line, see my thread about this here

Thanks for the reply - 096 it is then!

Just read through your "How To" Guide - I'm looking forward to swapping the battery out! Not.....

Out of interest, did you source a cover for the battery?

Well I rang a few Audi dealers and none of them have a battery cover listed for my chassis. However, I don't believe the official one available for the generic B6 A4 won't fit so I will end up getting that (with the rain cover). Cost is about 20 quid in total.

Cool - let me know how you get on with the fit!

Check that you have the radio code before disconnecting the battery!

Don't think the Symphony in it works anyway - at least I couldn't turn it on when I went to look at the motor.

Going to be ripping it out more or less straight away and upgrading to RNS-E anyhow - just got to find one at a good enough price!
