OBD11 Coding New Battery
« on: 29 August 2018, 00:23 »
May have to purchase a new battery and was looking at my options whether to buy from the net or direct from dealer. Does anyone have OBD local to NG31 postcode to re code a new battery if i were to buy from the net?

Won’t have to, but it’s better if you do so the car changes the way it charges it from old to new

Isn't it advisable to recode because of the stop/start system?

If it goes completely flat you have to re-sync it with the car but details are in the manual.

You only need to code a fob if it's a replacement one and never been used with the car. The dealer needs to be involved for that.

Yes as the car changes the way it charges depending on how old/capacity it is, and also there’s different battery technologies now too
