Which Battery

[alexi77]

Morning people, my son has just asked me to find him a Bosch battery for his 2004 A3 3.3 quattro. Any idea which battery/size/amps etc I should be looking for.
Thanks in advance Alex

It's a standard size 096 battery. Bosch will be expensive. I'm not fussed about the brands, there's little difference between them so I go for the maximum guarantee. try the usual web sellers like ECP and TPS.

Thanks for that, think he's got too much money, likes Bosch as a manufacturer

I should search for one for a 3.2 not 3.3 you might more of them .
You want a Varta Battery as they make most of the OE batteries.
I believe this would probably be the correct size a Varta E44

I would get the tape measure out and check though. the dimensions are on the ad linked above .

Bosch batteries are made by Varta, although the equivalent Bosch battery almost always is more expensive.

Had a quick look at Tayna, usually very good on price. £59.06 without delivery. For the battery above.

Thanks for that, my mistake, trying to rush this morning, it is a 3.2 of course.
