After 16.5 years the original battery is now struggling to hold a charge.
Any recommendations for a replacement make? It is a 1.4 TDI Nov 03.
Also will the radio (RNSE & keys need recoding)? If so, any smart ways to avoid?
Yes it can. Undo both nuts, but dont remove. Hinge wiper up vertically, then give a sharp pull away from the windscreen.Thanks for the replies. Varta has got a lot of votes but the Yuasa is at a similar price point. Once I wake up I'll go and check the size.
Next job is changing the new wiper arm I bought 3 months ago- Can it be done without a puller?
Why don't you remove the nuts? is it just to protect the thread?Yes it can. Undo both nuts, but dont remove. Hinge wiper up vertically, then give a sharp pull away from the windscreen.

ThanksHopefully useful:
It certainly is. F19 seems fine from recent posts I've read.This is presumably the original battery?
Have you a link along with your discount code, pleaseJust a follow up. Battery eventually arrived today from Tayna. From my research the Varta F19 appears the top choice, but money is tight at the moment, so bought the Exide 110TE Premium, which is same spec as F19 (85Ah & 800A) but with only a 4 year guarantee as opposed to 5 years on the Varta. However the price after discount was £60, so a lot cheaper. Better value? Who knows ask me in 4 years and one week
