Why won’t my Jetta battery hold a charge?

Stop in for a free battery check at your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care and learn more about your battery's charge.

What do you do with my dead Jetta battery?

How much will replacing my Volkswagen Jetta’s battery cost if I get a DieHard battery?

Volkswagen Jetta batteries can be affordable, especially when there's an available battery coupon. The best part is every DieHard battery comes with a free replacement warranty and extra coverage with DieHard Assurance.

How often should I replace my car battery?

The typical 12-volt car battery may last three to five years, depending on the type of battery, the driving conditions, and how well the battery is maintained.

Why is there white, flaky stuff around my Jetta’s battery post?

The white, flaky stuff that can build up around your Jetta’s battery terminals is known as corrosion. Acid leaking from your vehicle’s battery post can have a chemical reaction with the air, leading to an accumulation of the white, powdery substance over time. Corrosion can affect the flow of electricity between your battery and the electrical system in your Jetta, possibly causing issues with electrical performance and starting. If left unaddressed for long enough, it may even cause your battery to prematurely fail.

How do I clean corrosion off my Jetta vehicle battery?

To help extend the life of your battery, you should routinely inspect and clean the terminals using a baking soda and water mix, wire brush, and rag. Be sure to disconnect the battery cables before cleaning and check your Jetta owner’s manual for instructions on how to do so.
