Q7 BATTERY REPLACEMENT

Post by Mass »

Hi all,

I need the battery on my Q7 3.0 TDi replaced. So far Audi want R9k to change it, because, as I understand, it needs to be coded and the battery lives somewhere under the passenger seat. Vagspec seem to have forwarded me the Audi quote too so I assume they can't do it and Panic is a bit out of the way for a battery replacement.

Any recommendations in or around the Sandton area where I can get the battery competently replaced and coded without resorting to selling my organs?

Thanks!

Thanks for the help Panic and Belix - a Battery shop in Wynberg rates they can do the whole job (still expensive at just under half of Audi's Quote, because the battery itself is quite pricey), but if I run into issues I'll take you up on the offer Belix !

Did you call a few dealers around? in my experience Audi Sandton charges double what Rivonia and Braamfontein charges for services.

Hi,

Does anyone have any recommendations for Cape Town. I have the same challenge, and have been quoted the same prices as @Mass.
