Buy the Right Battery for Your Volkswagen Jetta

Sadly, your Volkswagen Jetta won't last forever. Neither will its battery. On average, auto batteries last anywhere from three to five years. Check your battery regularly and replace it as needed so it doesn’t leave you and your Volkswagen Jetta stranded. Pay attention to clues that your battery is on its way out. A sluggish engine start, an illuminated battery or check engine light, bloated battery case, corrosion-covered posts, or dim headlights can all signal that your battery needs attention.

  • Why doesn’t my Jetta battery stay charged? A battery that won't hold a charge is almost as good as dead. It may be getting old. Or, you may have a habit of leaving your car doors open and the dome lights on during the night. Stop by for a free battery test at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care to learn more about the state of your battery.
  • What do you do with my dead Jetta battery? We recycle it, taking care of both your car and the Earth.
  • What’s the cost of DieHard batteries for Volkswagen Jettas? You can find affordable Jetta batteries by using one of our car battery coupons, when available. Plus, every DieHard battery comes with extra coverage thanks to DieHard Assurance and a free replacement warranty.
  • What is the average lifespan of a car battery? You can usually get three to five years out of your car battery. However, battery type, how well you maintain your battery, and your driving habits can all affect your battery’s lifespan.
  • Why is there white, crusty buildup on my Jetta’s battery post? If you notice white, crusty stuff around the battery terminals of your Jetta, it's likely corrosion. A chemical reaction between battery acid and the air can create a white, powdery substance that builds up over time on the terminals. This buildup can interfere with the electrical connection between the battery and your Jetta’s electrical system, potentially leading to poor performance, difficulty starting, and other issues.
  • How do I remove corrosion from my Jetta car battery? Regularly inspect the terminals and clean them with a mixture of baking soda and water, a wire brush, and a rag. Disconnect the battery cables before cleaning to help avoid the risk of electrical shock. Always reference and follow the instructions in your vehicle owner’s manual prior to disconnecting the battery cables.
