A lagging starter, a blinking battery or check engine light, swollen battery case, corroded battery posts, or faded headlights can all signal that your battery is on its last leg.

Commonly Asked Passat Battery Questions

Firestone Complete Auto Care has answers to your top car battery questions. If you have a Passat-specific battery question, visit your nearest store. Our expert techs have the answers you need.

  • Why doesn’t my Passat battery stay charged? A car battery that needs to be jump-started every time is as good as dead. It may be getting old. Or, you may have been leaving your car doors ajar and the dome lights on during the night. Stop in for a free battery check at your favorite Firestone Complete Auto Care and learn more about your battery's charge.
  • What do you do with my dead Passat battery? We’ll recycle your car battery for you!
  • What’s the cost of DieHard batteries for Volkswagen Passats? You can find affordable Passat 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.
  • How long can I expect my car battery to last? 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 Passat’s battery post? If you notice white, crusty stuff around the battery terminals of your Passat, 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 Passat’s electrical system, potentially leading to poor performance, difficulty starting, and other issues.
  • What do I do about corrosion on my Passat car battery? You can help prevent or get rid of corrosion by regularly inspecting and cleaning your battery terminals. Before cleaning your battery, see your Passat owner's manual to learn how to disconnect the battery cables. After disconnecting the cables, use a mixture of water and baking soda, a wire brush, and a rag to carefully clean the terminals.
