    There was no difference in this case, the part was new - VW have their reasons for this system - I suppose you know
    what they are.

      I guess you always get what you've paid for.

        This is an old thread, revived

        Just got a new starting battery for the T5, a SuperCharge Gold MF66. Same as previous.
        Got just under 6 years out of the old one.Hoping for similar again.
        Recommended. And not real expensive(paid $200 for mine)

          It looks like DIN65. There is enough space for bigger battery as well, if someone has a need. You can go with DIN75 or even DIN85.

            My battery is on the way out, it wont hold charge over two - three days of not driving, the alternator thankfully was done by the previous owner a couple of years ago. i think a new battery is inevitable sadly.
            fitted is a DIN85 MF Century battery, CCA of 780 so it looks to be a good battery, not cheap at $300 at supercheap but still cheaper than going to battery world for DIN85LH AGM Century battery at $509...

            cheers

              Found this thread via a search and don't see any point in starting a new one.

              Reason for the search is my T5 battery voltage falls away from 12.68 after a charge to 12.34 in 7 days. Still starts the vehicle but the battery is 5.6 years old so will replace now rather than wait.

              So, current battery is OEM 000915105DK, $346 in my hand in Jan 2015. A look up of the Part No says the battery is 450CCA. Replacement cost from VW is $416 plus GST for OEM, or $316 plus GST for OEM Economy range. Hence my interest in the posts above.

              I have the luxury of looking around for the replacement so will start at Supercheap for the mentioned above DIN85 MF. I figure some might be interested in the price of the OEM item for comparison purposes.

                Hi Iza,

                I see you are in QLD. I had my T5 serviced at Volkspower Burwood,
                Melbourne recently. For comparison purposes they are distributing the SaiL brand of battery (Asian brand for OEM replacement). Mine was replaced for $270. Two year warranty. My last Century battery from the RACV lasted six years.

                Regards,

                Scott.
