Then with a with a lot of forcing get the air filter box back into place and the new battery can be connected with the original cables, they just fit. Now it's time to position the new battery, I used a medium screwdriver between the lip on the tray to force the battery into place and then lock it down with the clamp. Lastly on the the battery hold down bracket the two short tabs need a bit of bending to make it fit. There is also a mount for the air filter box which needs to have a rib removed to allow the battery to sit flat on the tray. Also some other high points sticking up on the battery tray need to be sawn off. The battery tray also needs to be removed and a high lip at the firewall end needs to be sawn off. In order to fit the battery the complete air filter box needs to be removed. I did not try to fit the silly battery cover back on the new battery, it's too short anyway. It does fit after quite a bit of work to make it fit since the H8-AGM is just under 10cm (4") longer, the width is the same. Duralast Platinum H8-AGM battery, or any other larger than OEM size battery.Īuto zone lists this battery as a fit for a 2015 Passat.
