I have the full size Autobahn batteries in my cars (VW, Audi, Renault).
The only difference between the VW and Audi batteries is that which side
is the vent installed. New batteries do not have the vents installed,
it gets put in when the batterie is first charged up. Check with a VW
dealer, they usually have the Audi part fishes, and can order any
Audi part cheaper than the Audi dealer. The headquarter, VAG, is the
same for both, at least here in Canada.

Good luck, Peter
