I need to replace the battery in my Eos (2006, 2.0 FSI petrol manual) and because I do mainly short journeys I thought it worth opting for a premium battery, for which the Bosch S5 looks good. The question is which model.

From the Bosch website it looks like the S5008 is the right one, but when I booked it in at my local independant garage their supplier sent a S5007 which he said was the right one. Has anyone bought a new Bosch S5 and know which one is correct? Thanks.

Compare both to your factory battery. As long as size and the terminals match up just pick the one that has the same or more power and cold cranking amps as the factory battery. I just got a battery from Ken towerys and even though their system said none matched we found one that met all the above qualifications and it works great.
