Hello, need some help from the experts.
My Passat B8 is four years old and the battery is getting weak.
The battery-manager already restricts some functions (e.g. welcome light, Start-Stop, etc.), unless I took a longer trip.
As I'm actually short of free time (and it's cold outside), I decided, to let a workshop (ATU) replace the battery and do the initialization.
But I had a look into the setting, prior and after the work was finished.
Just came back home from workshop. There is no change, if I look into STG 19 > Anpassung > Batterieanpassung
Settings prior and afterwork shop:
Bat.-kapazität 69Ah
Bat.-hersteller JCB
Bat.-seriennummer 1111111111
Bat.-technologie EFB
Start-Stop and other functions are working, now.
The old battery was:
69 Ah
moll
(ser-Nr. ??)
EFB
The new battery is:
70 Ah
VARTA
(Nr. ??)
AGM (Silver AGM Dynamic)
I want to go to the workshop and ask for re-do the initialization?
(Alternative: get my money back (EUR 24,99) and do the settings by my own.)
Therefor I want to be prepared with some detailed knowledge.
My questions:
- 69Ah (old) vs. 70Ah (new)
Does it really makes a different, to keep 69Ah setting, although a 70Ah battery is installed?
- Is the "manufacturer" just a free-text entry, so it doesn't matter if JCB, moll, or whatever was entered?
(Anyhow, I would like to change to VARTA)
- In this forum, I learnd: the (pseudo-)battery number should get an up-count (e.g. 1111111112).
What is the disadvantage, if the number was not up-counted?
- ODB-eleven's dropdown menue offers: "Binär - AGM"
Guess, this would be the correct setting - right?
What happens, if entry is "EFB" instead of "Binär AGM"?
Would be great, to get some arguments for the workshop members.
