After last nights post, and a sift through a few webpages i have decided to buy this battery: http://www.carbatteryshop.co.uk/mb-GOLF-1.8-Gti-1.8T-Gti-98-I670.html   -   Apparently they are highly recommended.

As far as i know the original battery is a Varta - I think that VW put in a Varta instead of the Bosch battery -
