Question Disconecting the battery.?

Hi Guys,

Going to replace the plugs on the weekend and I need to remove the battery, can I just remove it or will it cause problems with the key programing.?

I have the radio code so that will not be a problem just want to check first..[img]/grinning-smiley-17116.gif[/img]

The alarm should have it's own back up. Your ECU will have a nice break but nothing will go wrong.

Stop being a budgie.

The only downside Lee will be that the fuel learning tables which the ECU uses will be reset and so for a while it will go back into a learning mode, this shouldn't last too long though.

Lee, you don't need to do anything at all just drive it as you would normally, it will advance and retard the timing until it's happy with the settings.
