Recoding new starter battery on 2019 California Ocean.

Do I have to recode a new starter battery on my 2019 Californai Ocean?

Yes, you should really so that the capacity can correctly be calculated by the system, and therefore charged correctly, but it won't be the end of the world if you don't.

Is the replacement exactly the same?

 

[gcawood]

The replacement will be a Bosch battery but of similar specification

If you haven't already purchased, then recommend buying the battery + fitting with AA/RAC. If required they will recode when fitting.

Coding was not required for our 2012 Beach, we fitted a larger battery to avoid any issues in the winter.

Am surprised its not being done by VW dealer - isn't it a warranty job if vans under 3 years old?
