Bit of help with car battery

[Audib5fan]

Currently got a moll car battery in my 2011 a3 1.8t but it could do with changing and I can’t seem to find any moll battery’s or battery’s with same numbers so was wondering if anyone knew what I could replace it with that would work

thanks in advance

Any decent quality 70Ah battery. Bosch, Duracell, Varta come to mind.

Go for a Varta Silver. Same spec as OE batteries. I think the size of yours is probably the same as an 096 battery

measure the size of the existing battery. An 096 is
Length 278 mm
Width 175 mm
Height inc. terms 175 mm
Strictly speaking you should code the new battery to the car. If you can get someone with VCDS to just change one digit of the existing serial number than that will work ok. Otherwise the car will learn it has a new battery .

+1 for Varta silver,I changed mine a couple of years ago and did not need any coding, battery has been very good indeed and was good price.

+1 on Varta Silver. Replaced mine a few years ago after the many retrofits just to be sure the battery could handle it.
