maybe some aussies can help...I'm after a new battery
The old one's slowly dying. I took the battery out today and it's rated at 740CCA (cold cranking amps). It's dimensions are 35x17x17 cms. I don't want to goto the stealer. where can I find suitable battery? I checked out k-mart, they where selling a exide extreme at 620 CCA for $165. nrma are around $180 quoted (i don't know which battery they use though).
pundit, you are not the only one
happened to me also on my first beetle. Used a bigger battery
covered with a wood board which slipped a bit :(
Whole rear seat was burned and I was lucky that someone helped out with a fire extinguisher.
Good old times, could remove the engine within 20 minutes. :D
