Replace battery?
Picked up an 06 WRX STi this week.. battery is 7 years old so I took it for a free check at halfords. It was showing 47% service life and 'unserviceable', so it looks like I should get a new one.. although no problems starting or anything yet. The guy at halfords suggested leaving it until after summer and replacing it for the winder but I'm not sure thats a good idea?
Also if I do replace the battery.. is there any 'gotya's' I should know about with disconnecting and reconnecting power.. do things need reset/codes etc? or should it all just come back online. thanks |
no mate, just a easy swap! the only thing that will happen is the alarm will sound until the power is back on.
Super easy job |
Just write your Radio code down..
It will be fine done mine about 6 months ago with no problems.. |
thanks

As said mate, 10 minute job.
Don't get ripped off though, my specialist does Exide ones with a 4 year guarantee for £70 fitted! |

Mine was down to around 30% and was dieing on its adss if I sat in the car for more than 5 mins with radio and side lights on, replaced with a Bosch S5, big warranty and equally big cold cranking power. paid 60 fitted locally.

Easy job :) ... done mine in 10 minutes
I also have a 2006 hawk and my alarm was going off intermittently, the change of battery has sorted it, well worth the £ Cheers |
