Yeah have specified that on request part of the form , have got to speak with garage tomorrow so will double check then👍👍

Got it and just awaiting garage to confirm it fitting on Thursday 🤞👍

Have been looking on eBay but can’t find one, and have also been looking for a garage where I can get it fitted

Done some digging and don’t think it is pal

Hi Gareth found this on eBay ( via tayna )is this the correct battery pal?

Sorry to be a pain Gareth,is this the correct battery have put registration in and this is the only exide on their site? Just double checking before I order from eBay?

🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️apologies pal !Removed! batteries sending me loopy 😂😂did mean the exide will get it ordered tomorrow , and will double check I order the exide premium as you’ve recommended, fingers crossed it resolves the issue will be in touch once it’s fitted thanks again for all the help pal

Thanks Gareth yes it did cross my mind to just go buy another one , checked Tayna Batteries and will order the enduraline and see how it goes , as for the alternator believe it or not we ended up not testing It as the testing unit they were using started playing up !! We managed to get the battery checked out though, am going to cancel the diagnostic appointment at Audi next week and get the battery replaced and see how it goes at £140+ think I’d rather get a battery fitted( not by me pal 😂😂). Have you had this issue at some point? Thanks for all the advice pal it’s been a real help with this issue , nice to know there are knowledgeable people who are happy to help out absolutely love the car so it’s great having your support, 👍👍

Meant to say the varta battery that the rac put in is AGM096 but like the guys at the garage pointed out is how long has the battery been in that van and also not an oem battery so will see what RAC say 🤞🤞

Went to Halfords (approx 1.5 mile away) and got them to check battery,engine not warmed up and showing just 1bar lit on temp gauge , battery showed less than 12.5 volts, and 570 start power from 760 , official battery is AGM096 (less than (£200) at Halfords, Phoned Audi at Wakefield to confirm battery but all they would tell me is the official battery is £316 and it has 390 amps, gone onto eBay and even on there the proper batteries are over £300 ! Halfords did say the Battery was faulty so I suppose my next option is to speak to the RAC and explain the situation??

Cheers Gareth am going down tomorrow morning so will pass on findings straight away and hopefully find out wether I have the correct battery ? The guys at the independent garage did say that the A6 C8 is very sensitive and none oem parts could/would throw up faults but will definitely get back to you asap , thanks again 👍

Hi Gareth thanks for the advice ,, yes my car has stop/start as for the coding of the battery I don’t recall the RAC mentioning it tbh? As for charging will definitely take your advice and leave it well alone .. it used to be a simple battery under the bonnet with a black and red cable to it now there are god knows how may cables!!🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️thanks again pal for the advice and will get back to you as soon as I’ve been to Halfords and will double check battery for info 👍👍

Don’t know if this photo is any help ? Where do you charge this battery from is it in the engine bay or directly to the battery?

The Battery was replaced by RAC last November and it’s a Varta, been to a local independant vw/ Audi garage who have suggested it’s the wrong battery ! Called RAC back anc they will only change it if it’s below a certain voltage which it’s not so I was advised to go to Audi ?

Cheers pal will get it booked in with Halfords straight away thanks for the quick response 👍
