      ^^^ I bet that VW assist didn't bother to tell the network module in your car that it now has a new battery and to stop charging/discharging it as if it was a battery of the age of the previous battery. I bet that they simply physically swapped new-for-old and just drove away- without plugging a device into the OBD port near the accelerator pedal?
      I would be delighted to be advised otherwise

      Please don't PM to ask questions about coding, or vehicle repairs. The better place to deal with these matters is in the forum proper. That way you get the benefit of the wider expertise of other forum members! Thank you.

        It was done at the dealer so I hope they coded in the new one. I have a VCDS cable. Is there an easy way to check?

          ^^^^yes - it's relatively easy to check: go to the CAN Gateway module @ address hex19, select adaptation-16, search for "MAS06108" and select IDE03256-MAS06108-Battery adaptation-Battery Serial Number. The factory setting for the original battery would have been 1111111111 (i.e. hexFF) - if the setting is still hexFF, then likely the CAN network is oblivious to the fact that the car now has a new battery!

          PS - here's how to do it properly (mk7s have UDS modules - so use the section of the video with this protocol):
