battery cover
« on: 26 March 2013, 13:23 »
So got myself new battery from euro car parts as i had enuf of driving around with a charge pack for whole week. The car would not start first time at all :angry:

So got my self bosch s4 battery :cool:.problem is the fookin thing is to long for my battery box  :angry: the engine bay looks untidy as sh1t now and fuse box top battery hangin off on side the box :angry:

Have looked and apparantly there is two type sizes listed for the 4mo. Which i didnt even notice when got it. Car runs and starts perfect now. But i have used the batteey so i cant take it back :cry: so im fooked is there any alternative battery cover or different sizes out there??? Or will i have to get a AGU battery bag instead :embarrassed:

Rang em bud they said speak manager etc had a word and he said because iv used it for couple of days cant do much. And the the smaller version bosch s4 has less cca and power rating so wasnt keen going for sh1tter battrry and then pay for it too :angry: the guys where helpful tho but cant blame them as i have used the battery past few days. They where a bit confused too why there is two sizes listed for the 4mo.

Ill try sourcing a diesel one. Anyone know how much bigger they are :undecided:

Thers few on ebay i have no way knowing there diesel ones tho. Whats part number for em? :smiley:
