Hi guys.. my Polo TSI battery just died and need a replacement.
My car already slightly more than 3 years. Any suggestion should i go to SC or use a third party?

Thanks

Replacement at SC cost RM800-1k, outside RM300
Battery replacement from 3rd party will not void warranty

Basic 60,000km service, expect to pay about RM900. Please note that most (if not all) service centers may tell you that your brake pads need to be changed, brake discs needs to be changed, etc - you need to know your car, and know if these really need to be replaced or not. 60k service should include a battery check so you'll know if it needs to be replaced (if it does, there are much cheaper alternatives outside, and will not void your warranty).

Great advice.. I just changed my battery..

More often than not, the speed sensor does not need to be replaced; simply cleaned. Most workshops can do that for you to, at little cost. You may want to google and read up about it, as this is a fairly common issue.

thanks.... it is quite annoying, this is the 2nd time the ABS and ESP warning light appear..
1st time was claim under warranty and now 2nd time which already out of warranty period

Generally how long does the battery for VW cars last?
For my B7 passat, 1st and 2nd battery lasted few mths short of 2 years. Both are Varta batteries

Polo TSI
1st battery 3 yrs (due to less usage as I was out of the country most of the time)
2nd battery 23 months..
