Hi All;
My 2015GSW, purchased last halloween, refuses to start in this cold weather (0 to low negative degrees). The dealer says the battery is only warranted for 2 years and won't replace it under warranty.
I talked with the local service manager, and they swear the TDI's use the same battery as their gas counterparts. The parts manager said the rating is for 360 CCA. A friend of mine just put a new battery in his 2003 jetta that was rated at 800 CCA.
360 sounds absurd to me for a diesel in Maine winters. Has anyone upgraded their battery? What should I look for when I replace this one?
TIA
