The CHF11S spec started out as mineral and was developed and patent owned by Pentosin , during the years it's become a synthetic .


Fuchs has recently acquired Pentosin .

Re: Start/stop error message - potential battery problem?

That website by Reginald has told me the Stuttgart AGM is 354mm long , it's 315mm .

The correct 315mm is an Exide EK800 plus postage £124.27 with 3 Year guarantee .

Halfords / Yuasa 115 AGM £113.60 with 5 Year guarantee .


Double check and shop around !

Re: B8 rear door speaker upgrade.

Take the door card off to find which type .

Most aftermarket speaker suggestions will be slightly larger with the aid of a spacer as was the case with my B5.5 .
