Honestly, get ready to get a new battery.
This is what I got with a discount for 130quid http://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/c/Au...899db79&000020 If its completely disconnected will everything still work? Wireless key, radio etc WHAT??? If it's disconnected/dead nothing will work plus you may experience additional problems/faults afterwards Coding is purely (correct me anyone if I'm wrong) to tell the battery management that you have put a brand new battery with correct Ah etc so it can manage it/charge accordingly over the years, something like that. When mine died over the night it was dead, hours of charge did nothing, couldn't even lock the boot as its electronic, dead !!!!

No ya plumb i mean for example if the battery has been disconnected completely and then a new one hooked up, will the car lose connection with the key or radio? or will some functions on the car require a dealer reset or something???
EDIT: How do you code a new battery in then? Last edited by Palmer; 13th April 2014 at 01:29 PM. |

No doubt you can get it cheaper, link to ECP was just for the spec. If you can get same discount in your local ECP than its only 10quid more but its your call mate. And yes, 110A and 920cca is what you need, BUT thats what I needed for my petrol. Just make sure you don't need slightly higher specs for diesel, not sure if it matters at all, but...

Well, its not critical but its there for a reason so its important to do it long term.
If you dont have VCDS then you will have to go somewhere, BUT the best possible investment you can do for yourself and your wallet as a A8 owner is to buy one, and I'm sure 99% of people here will agree http://www.gendan.co.uk/product_VCHU.html
