Disconnect negative terminal first, and re-connect it last.

Oh ok I never knew that. I doubt out tho that it doesn't matter because even if your holding the battery together with 2 metal poles with bare hands it still won't hurt you. Its to do with volts or something like that

As SA said: Take the neg off first and on last. This will reduce the possibility of short-circuiting either the old or the new batteries. Nice vid, tnx.

Ohhh ok yeah I was never sure which order to do them thanks for the tip. Also if neg is off first doesn't that mean it's still live because pos is still connected so isn't there a risk of getting shocked

@@Fizzy.g There's no risk of getting shocked from a 12v car battery. It's advised negative off first and on last to avoid short circuit (like a spanner touching other metal parts while removing battery terminals) because cars are negative earth.

Thanks mate, followed your advice and swapped the battery out. One thing I'd recommend is a long hatchet stem bit (don't know the correct terminology, lol) as the battery fastener can be a bit awkward to get to. Thanks again.

Another tip I learned, this is if you need to jump start the car, put all the electrics into the on position. Such as lights, heater blowers, hazards etc This will prevent possible current overload, which leads to all the warming lights coming on the dash. By placing load onto the battery when you jump start it.

Oh I never knew that. Wouldn't that then make it harder to start as it's pulling more current

Yeah but then when turning the car on its pulling all of the power from the battery

Is it a start/stop model and did you get any error codes if it was? Can I change it without a diagnostic tool?

It's not a start/stop model. And yes you don't need a diagnostic tool you just need to pull the old battery out and put the new one in

Really helpful, thanks for the video!

Do you not need to code this in? I've bought a battery but I've read this needs to be coded through the diagnostics which is another £30 on top of the battery itself to get it done. Is it necessary?

yeah I'm not sure why but when its been off for a few days it have a weird start for about 10 seconds and then goes normal to a cold starts sound. since I changed the oil and spark plugs it has improved a lot now it rarely makes that sound and if it does its for a second or 2 so I think it just needed a good service but I'm thinking of getting the timing chain done soon

Going by the loud rattling noise your car must be super low on engine oil. Forget about the cold start. I have a 1.4 TSI CAXA and it’s not even half as loud. That’s why people should never buy cars of roadmen like you. Also fitting a cheaper battery as a replacement but still buying premium brand cars. SMH
