Changing Car Battery

Hi All,

I have what you might call CANBUS-phobia - the GTI is my first CANBUS car and I don't want to mess anything up!!

I have a Varta E44 waiting to be installed - is there anything special I need to do? Or is it a case of remove the old battery and stick the new one in as I have done with non-CANBUS cars?

Is access a pain too?

Serious n00b question I know!!  :signLOL:

Thanks,

Irfan

If you open your bonnet and look you'll see access is rather quite good.
Easy job...

akbarirfan:
Yes access looks good from the top - are there any securing bolts at the base of the battery?

Not had a chance to have a proper look!

Thanks

xjay1337:
Some cars have a small clamp at the bottom of the battery to hold it in place. is a 5 minute job anyway.
Have a look  :happy2:

akbarirfan:
Nice one, just watched this too

Off to car I go before it rains!

I also have a PCV related question coming soon  :jumping:

Thanks
