Battery Price

[wenman]

Has anyone had to replace the battery on their car?
I've just been told by Seat the battery will be £96.00, sounds steep to me as my dad has just replaced the battery on his Navara and that was only just over the £100 mark!

Thanks,
Billy

Depends on the model of Ibiza you have and the quality of battery you want

I was quoted between £50 and £75 for my 130TDi sport.

Eurocarparts seem to have a good selection.

I'd try GSF. They quoted me £56 for a new Bosh battery with 4yr warranty two weeks ago. Halfords wanted nearly £100.

You won't get that much of a reduction.

A battery is a battery - don't expect massive reductions just because you have a smaller car - it's still got a 1.8T under the bonnet

just what i read on another forum. and some items you do get a really good discount

eg Gun Gum Tin of the original stuff £3.80. Trade £0.75

been checking lately for my 130 tdi sport and around £55-65 gets you a decent one with ratings equal or above the oem battery, halfords price was £92 for their cheapest one.

a diesel battery will be more expensive...but shop around and best deals will be at German car parts distributors

 

[mazzerati]

eurocarparts.com?

Price of the battery is normally determined by its amp power, not by the size of the car, my 1.2 only runs about 300amps, and costs £59 in Halfords ( staff discount not included)

Got a Bosch battery for the 130TDi from ECP for £65 the other day. Far cheaper than halfords.
