If you get on their website today they have a sale on. I am surprised by the prices but when playing around I went for the £310 Bosch battery, entered code MAY60 for 40% off and it comes down to £186 but this deal ends today... It also works on the £280 battery making it £168 but I would go for thto Bosch option.
No programming is needed - just install thit new battery and take it for a 5 min drive, any errors on the dash will clear themselves.

I thought you had to reprogram it so that it knows it’s a new battery and charges it so (and it’s only changing the serial number, and can be done easily with obdeleven or vcds), rather than charging a old battery more due to its deterioration,
plus if you get a different type of battery it charges differently too
-
Will it work without coding?
Yes.
Is it better to code it in?
Yes too.
If you get the same type of battery with same capacity you only need to change serial number with VCDS to tell it that it needs to learn the charging parameters for new battery.
Different type or capacity/cca and you need to changne those, but even then that’s a five - ten minute job.

very confused here , rang Halfords and kwik fit they both said it needs to be programmed into the car...bit stuck here don't want to miss out on the offer at eurocar parts but don't know anyone with the software to programme it to the car

I'm just down the A19 from you near penshaw monument with vcds but I've never done anything with the battery programming. Anyone have any instructions on how to?

I did a how to guide on the mK7 forum here:-
https://www.golfmk7.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7926
QUOTE:-
To fit the new battery:- Hopefully you will have pre-bent/creased the folds correctly in the new fabric battery insulation cover, & have it fitted over the new bigger battery. You will have realised these batteries are heavy (20kg circa), so carefully place the battery in the front part of the tray. Now connect the + first & then the – cables to the battery & partly tighten the clamps up (enough to hold in place). Now slide the battery back into the rear right hand corner (nearest the suspension turret top). This is because there is a hold down lip in the rear & right hand side of the battery tray which helps to hold the battery in place! Now refit the battery clamping plate & the clamping plate bolt, & use a torque setting of 15Nm (11lbft). Then for the battery terminal clamp nuts a torque setting of 6Nm (4.4lbft). Now remove the 12V supply & replace the black plastic cover for the + cable terminal (Item No.3), & black plastic flap over the “-“ (Item No.5).
VCDS coding required:-
From the Main screen:-
Select Control Module [Select]
[19-CAN Gateway]
Advanced Functions screen:-
[Adaptions-10]
New value choice screen:-
Change the following four channels, inputting the relevant data about the new battery.
IDE03256-MAS06105-Battery adaptation-Rated battery capacity,
IDE03256-MAS06106-Battery adaptation-Battery technology,
IDE03256-MAS06107-Battery adaptation-Battery manufacturer,
IDE03256-MAS06108-Battery adaptation-Battery Serial Number,
Battery BEM codes are now redundant with the above separate channels. The most important channels are, Rated battery capacity, Battery technology, & Battery Serial Number. For the Battery Serial Number, just change one digit of the old one. This channel tells the BCM that a new battery has been installed & to relearn the new battery & forget any “learnt values” for the old battery!

I wouldn't worry about the offer as Euro Car Parts generally have a 60% sale on most days of the week.
