Amazing stuff with the 4 year old stock battery that's been relocated to the trunk!!! http://www.bnmotorsports.com "And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my CEG brothers.

Typical VW crap! Hehe, I gotta give ya some crap PRat!!! Typical VW crap battery! VW factory battery is usually good for about 2 years. Here I am on year 4.
