Engine battery

[spitzie]

The Cali engine is now 9 years old and like it's owner doesn't start well on these cold mornings.
I've ordered a replacement Varta and know that I'll need to update the settings via carista but is there anything else I need to be aware of?

No. You might get some warning lights on the Dashboard on first start, because certain calibrations might have been lost. Driving a few miles will reset everything.

For optimum performance you use something like carista to tell the computers there is a new battery installed.

I'm being let down by Tanya batteries and their courier.
Replacement was due to be delivered Wednesday then was shown as out for delivery yesterday. And has been indicated as out for delivery twice today.
Definitely not a happy bunny.

Sadly this is probably par for the course on Black Friday. Normal service may be resumed...

3 days the Cali has been off the road with the engine battery on a ctek, which still hasn't completed its cycle.
I'm thinking of going to Halfords and getting a Yuasa battery instead and returning the Varta to Tanya if it ever arrives.

Order one with fitting from AA / RAC. Free fitting if you are a member and they will also do a full scan + code battery (if required). If your issue is not battery related they refund full cost; can normally get same/next day service.

I had a similar issue some months ago courier not great said they had lost it in transit then I received 2 batteries the next day

Looked at RAC & AA, neither will quote for a battery replacement at home

Battery was finally delivered. Fitted in about 30mins, don't appear to have to program it in as stop/start, etc worked straight away.
Good job I didn't get the Yuasa from Halfords as their 'documented' replacement model is 40mm bigger
