My battery was flat today... Not even the steptronic led, lit...
My car has independent heating. Searching through realoem, I've found:
"FOR VEHICLES WITH
INDEPENDENT HEATING
NEW GENERATION BATTERY (AGM): FOR
VEHICLES WITH CRITICAL CHARGE LEVEL,
THE NEW GENERATION BATTERY CAN BE
INSTALLED."
Does anyone has a TSB about battery problems? Should my dealer replace it under warranty?

Found mine totally dead on Wednesday morning, I'd left nothing on but it was totally drained. I gave it a charge and the car started (with active steering, transmission and ABS warnings) then later died again.. Took it to the dealer, they charged and tested and said it seemed OK. They kept it overnight, and it drained again, it tested OK but drained immediately after a recharge. On the next test their machine diagnosed a battery fault and it was replaced under warranty. If yours is like mine I'd see about a replacement.
