So, I have a 2012 TDI A3. As with others, I bought it when they came back on the market in 2019 after having been all taken off the market for Dieselgate, retrofitted by VW and sent out to auction. I bought from a local 3rd party dealer in May 2019.
The battery has failed. According to VW's website, their factory replacement batteries are fully warrantied for 3 years (36 mon.) Mine is dated 2/19 (34 months), and my purchased was in May 2019 (31 months). So, it should be covered, right?
Well, after a WEEK, Audi has determined that they will not cover the VW warranty.
Hopefully tomorrow I can get it to a VW dealer who will honor it.
So, whether VW honors the warranty or if not, and I go to O'Reilly's or similar, what specs are best for the TDI A3?
Here's my thoughts, unless you with more experience recommend otherwise:
- H6/Group Size 48
- 700+ CCA
- AGM
Thanks for any input.
