Replacing Battery

[old son]

I will be replacing the battery on my 2010 Multispace 90 HP Diesel.

Can I just remove old battery, fit new battery and start it up or is there a procedure I need to follow? Do I need any code numbers or will I need to have codes reset?
Thanks

I think that so long as you leave the bonnet open with keys out & doors closed for about 5 minutes so all the systems are shut down, before disconnecting the old battery, you should be fine. In case you've not already got a new battery, I've found Tayna to be the best & cheapest, you just need to look down through the listings as they put their preferred items at the top of the list & you can't sort on price.

Might you need the radio code?

Might you need the radio code?

Assuming an original radio, it's coded to the VIN and will be ok.

Thanks for your responses. I purchased from Tanya and rightly or wrongly chose a 78ah battery rather than a 70ah. I think the CCA figure was higher too.

A battery with higher AH and CCA figures is only going to be a bonus.

All changed and running/starting fine. Thank you for your help
