Original battery in Apr '12 1.8 Superb finally gave up the ghost yesterday but only after we had parked up for about an hour with radio on. Must be something about those German manufactured batteries. It looks a big battery for a little 1.8 litre engine. I'm wondering if maybe if it could be common to both diesel and petrol variants and hence has lasted so long.
