So you have not actually changed the battery yourself? In this case I would definitely try a new battery first. The new VCDS are either limited cars or very expensive professional versions. I would recommend buying second hand older unlimited version. If you would like to try Chinese copy there are plenty around but obviously you do not get support with them and while it is very unlikely that it will cause any problems with car sometimes they do not work well.

Plenty on aliexpress and they are cheaper than last time I bought one. These are newer 17.* versions.

I have not used them myself as I am on older 16.8 version
