Bruce, welcome to the Gen 3 club and in your favorite color combo. Good luck with it!
These Gen 3 TT V8s are amazing and FAST cars. In sport mode that dual clutch trans snaps off shifts faster than you can think.
11 second 4700lb car that gets 22mpg on a trip.

In about 5 years a nice Gen 3 will be on my wish list! Right now my 2009 GT Speed in Canyon Orange is doing a great job of putting a smile on my face!!

One very nice upgrade is the HomeLink garage door programming. No more climbing a ladder to press a button on the motor for rolling codes, it's all magically done from the car's touchscreen.
The car has only one battery now located where the spare tire used to be. Instead of a spare there's an inflator.
Bruce, unless yours is different from mine, Gen 3 V8s have 2 batteries, a systems battery and a starter battery. Also a PSA for everyone; do not put anything in the trunk (boot) that could possibly spill liquid onto the floor as the electronics underneath will suffer damage - no, I did not suffer this.

Where is the second battery? The only one I found is under the floor of the boot. When I get home tomorrow I'll have another look. The Bentayga has one under the passenger floor.

I could swear I remember reading in the manual talking about a system and start battery. I have not honestly put eyes on either and the car and I are not in the same area now. So until I can show otherwise, I will defer to your single battery statement.

I took a look tonight at both the car and the manual. There is one 12v battery under the floor of the boot AND there is a 48v supercapacitor somewhere as well but that shouldn't need service.

Thank you Bruce and my apologies for muddying the waters.
