New Battery On 2011 T4

[StuMootheMad]

This is my first post having recently aquired a T4 Estate. The Battery is completely dead, most likley left something on, my question is, having removed the old one, do i need to reset anything when fitting the new one. Push button start and remote keyless locking ect, will it go wibble on me when i connect the new Battery. Thanks in anticipation

Not That im aware of, had mine disconnected when i fitted my towing electrics and just reconnected it and it was fine,

Just remember when you remove the old one you need to disconnect the negative first then the positive then on connecting the new its positive first followed by the negative.

Hope you enjoy the new car

on the previous model, once disconnecting the Battery if forgets the time, and you need to re sync the one touch window feature.

A tip passed onto me from n AA man who came to my assistance when I had a flat battery: if attempting to boost start ensure the ignition key is out before connecting the batteries as a power spike can corrupt the chip in the key.

thanks for tip, luckily every time I have boost started a car no keys have been in the ignition.
