Jetta '01 1.8t battery replacement

#1

Hey everyone, I need to replace the battery on the Jetta, well
actually I already did with a clunky big Interstate battery -- I had
to remove all the plastic housing from the original battery.
My question is - does any manufacturer, other than the stealer, make a
battery replacement that fits in the original battery assembly?

#2

Yes. I bought mine at Sam's....

Most Optimas are smaller and will fit, too.

But they cost more than the dealer battery, at least in our area. And that
leave 99% of VW owners out.

The Interstate Megatron 75 Month fit in my 2000 NB 1.8t plastic battery
surround with room to spare. Is that what you installed in your '01 Jetta?
