Hello Selim, before you consider installing a new starter battery, it's important to confirm if the issue is indeed with the battery. You can do this by checking the battery voltage using a multimeter. If the voltage is below 12.6V when the car is off, then your battery might be the issue. If the battery is fine, the problem could be with the alternator or the starter motor. If you confirm that the battery is the issue and you're considering installing a new one with an adapter, ensure that the adapter is compatible with your car model. It's also crucial to make sure that the new battery has the same voltage as the old one to avoid any electrical issues. Please let me know how it goes after you've checked these things. Do you have any other questions?
Many thanks for the quick reply. I've already checked things and I'm sure it's the battery. It's fine too, it's now 7.5 years old. My adapter is also for VW. What else does it need to be able to do?

Great, if you're sure it's the battery and you have a compatible adapter, the next step is to ensure the new battery has the same or higher Ampere-hour (Ah) and Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) ratings as your old battery. These ratings are important for the battery's performance and longevity. Also, remember to disconnect the negative terminal first when removing the old battery and connect it last when installing the new one. This is to prevent any accidental short circuits. Please update us on your progress. Do you have any other questions?

The question is, how do I find out whether the adapter is compatible? I will take the other tips into account

Hello Selim, if you have any questions about the app itself, you are of course welcome to contact our support team, which you can find on our website. In general, we do not offer the function for VW vehicles.
