I was told on here that the random Brake Warning and dash beeps I have been getting on start and occasionally when driving 'spirited' are just a sign that my battery is getting tired.
I had my battery tested and apparently it has 70% of its life left. I'm planning to change it anyway, hopefully he was wrong because if it is a brake fault it could get expensive..
I can get the battery from a place local to me (might get it cheaper cash on collection).
The correct battery is this one :
Audi A4 S4 Quattro 4 Year Guarantee Bosch Battery | eBay the Bosch S4013
Alternatively for not much more I can get an RS4 B7 battery which looks the same (and surely fits and connects the same) but with much bigger spec:
Audi RS4 4.2 B7 (2006-2010) 09/06-01/08 Bosch Battery S5015 | eBay the Bosch S5015
Would it be worth getting the later battery at all ? in terms of longevity and performance ?
Would it cause any problems (such as not enough charge from the alternator) ?
Thanks.
