Chris. Buy a CTEK, my battery was tested at Audi pre CTEK and it needed replacing. After CTEK'ing it, it's pretty much always full, and no longer flags as needing replacement on Audi's computer. Just leave it overnight and your battery is as good as new again. Some voodo sh1t.

Chris
I was charged £139.92 (exc VAT) for the battery (part no. V000 95 105 DL) and £35 (exc VAT) for the labour to fit it ... so £210 all in.

Rich.
The Present ...
C7 RS6 Avant - Estoril Blue - everything bar B&O - Akrapovic only upgrade (... so far)

The Past ...
C6 RS6 Saloon - Phantom Black - lots of factory extras but no tuning.
C5 RS6 Saloon - Daytona with black Interior - Full Milltek with 100 cpsi cats - AMD Remap - Bilstein PSS9 Coilovers - MTM Bimoto's - Phaeton Brake Upgrade - RNS-E + Bluetooth + Multi-media player + Phatbox

New battery fitted today(OEM) all well again.

I ain't messing around trying to get a Knackered battery back to life etc etc

If it's shagged? It's shagged.

Replace, can't be doing with getting stuck in the middle of nowhere with kids etc hoping battery will work.

Not strictly true, as I and other CTEK users have found. It does it's Vodoo <beep>, and it is as good as new. I totally understand you replacing it, though, sometimes I can't be arsed and it was the route I intended to take until the reading up on CTEK just made me want to try it for the gadget factor.
