I bought my car in late 2017 as a CPO with about 8,000 miles on it. (I presume it sat around during the dieselgate scandal given its low mileage.) Best I can tell, it has the original battery, which is an Enertec 5K0 915 105 E. Is this the OEM battery? If so, how long is it good for?
I'm at 5 years and 23,000 miles and am worried it's going to leave me stranded on a cold morning. Is there a better replacement I should be looking at? Perhaps an AGM battery? Can I change it myself without needing coding or losing all my settings? Stealership quoted me $147 for a new battery, which I thought was pretty reasonable for a dealer, actually.
Thanks for any guidance you can provide.
