The car battery has a crucial role in starting your Volkswagen model. When you press the ignition button or turn the key, the battery sends a surge of electricity to the starter, turning over the engine. In addition, the battery provides power to the electrical components of your VW when the engine is turned off. You may notice that you’ll have to reset your clock if the battery dies, this is because the battery provides a small amount of power to keep this and other electrical systems going.
There’s no definite way to tell how long your battery will last, though most batteries give two to four years of steady service. Because there’s such a large time frame, we recommend coming to City Volkswagen of Chicago to have your battery tested. If the battery still has plenty of juice left, you can leave with peace of mind. But if it’s no longer able to hold a charge like it used to, we can replace it for you.
There are some ways to tell that your battery is in trouble other than an inspection, though these usually mean that you’ll need to take action immediately. Try turning on your lights when the engine is off. If they’re noticeably dimmer than when the engine is on, or if they flicker, the battery may be in trouble. And if you have a difficult time starting your vehicle, it may be due to the battery. If you notice these symptoms, head to City Volkswagen of Chicago for a battery inspection and replacement service.
