How Often Should the Volkswagen Golf Battery Be Replaced?
1 Answers
Volkswagen Golf batteries should be replaced every 2-3 years. Below are some relevant guidelines regarding battery usage: 1. Maintenance: If the car is left unused for an extended period, the battery will gradually discharge on its own. Therefore, it is advisable to start the car periodically to recharge the battery. 2. Usage: Continuously using the starter when starting the car can damage the battery due to excessive discharge. The correct method is to limit each starting attempt to no more than 5 seconds, with intervals of at least 15 seconds between attempts. If the car fails to start after multiple attempts, check other potential issues such as the electrical circuit, ignition coil, or fuel system. 3. Precautions: Regularly inspect the battery's positive and negative terminals for signs of oxidation. You can pour hot water over the battery cable connections occasionally to prevent oxidation.
