The battery in my 2015 Golf S TDI 6MT died. The dealer claims that the computer should be told I have a new battery (even though it is identical specs) so it doesn't overcharge and shorten the battery life.
Is this really the case? With tax the dealer charged me $163 for the battery. At $70 for the dealer to reprogram, the battery life would need to be cut nearly in half for reprogramming to pay for itself.
Also, I thought I read that programming for a new battery was only needed for cars with auto start/stop?
So is all this dealer BS or needed?
