I did this successfully on a 2013 Golf TSI 1400cc. Used the Ancel VD700 (approx. £110) to program battery code. I noticed your "original" battery code showed JCB, although battery was NOT JCB. Mine was the same! All works fine - as long as car "knows" new battery (and type) is fitted - so it doesn't damage it by under, or over, charging it! Also noticed if you monitor battery voltage while driving, it is completely different charging pattern to older conventional cars!
Youre a lifesaver. I'm replacing the battery of my 2015 VW polo from an EFB to an AGM battery myself as its really pricey at the mechanic and would have had no idea what affordable OBD scanner to order if not for you saying you used an Ancel VD700. Luckily the new AGM battery has the same capacity so I dont need a more expensive OBD scanner like the OBDeleven PRO to program it. The Ancel VD700 would suffice as I just need to register it as a new battery :) Now Im just waiting for both my new battery and scanner to be delivered!
@@Icolorimutevoli glad I could help! The Ancel device has menu enabling you to change battery type and ALSO battery capacity - so if new battery was a bit bigger you can just input whatever the new battery capacity might be!
Once you've loosen the negative terminal disconnect it right away before loosening and removing the positive. If the tool touches any metal part of the engine when undoing the positive while the negative is still connected it will make spark, might damge something. Removal: disconnect negative first Installation: connect positive first
Thank you, I have an EFB battery on my 2020 Rav4 and has been replaced twice the battery. Some are saying the vehicle DCM is causing the battery to die others are saying the OEM battery from toyota are bad and recommending I switch to AGM.
Do the older version b6 passat use Stop start. I have an AGM battery in a 2009 b6 but it only was a wire on negative terminal unlike yours which had wires on both terminals
The problem isn't that it won't work and the lights won't go off... The problem is that the computer treats your new battery as if it were the old battery, unless you adapt the car to the new battery. This means that the charging cycles will act like an old battery, and your new battery will likely not last nearly as long as it could/should.
Mine disabled win battery got low notice it struggle Replaced battery now it’s not working idk if it’s because I replaced it with a AGM Battery from Walmart or it need to be programmed what y’all think
Hi changed my battery on 2011 touran but didn’t program it there is no light on the dash , is it going to be ok or not , I smell something burning since I changed the battery, do you think it could be the change of the new battery?
Yes. Most modern cars with AGM batteries need to register it to avoid overcharge and reducing the life considerably. If not sure once we plug our scan tool in it would have the option to register the new battery if it requires it
The car was being used before the battery installation. It's still on 90 as it was only off for 10 minutes while installing the new battery so it's not enough time to cool down 👍🏻
Correct, allot of people get mistaken just because it has the letters AGM, binary AGM refers to spiral AGM batteries, the AGM fitted here is a flat plate with Fleece
@@ORileysAutos They don’t seem to last long. My Passat will be 4 in February and it doesn’t have the same kick, especially in mornings or when ambient temps are low. It read 43% SOH on a conductance tester. Exact same battery but mine located in the boot. My fathers 2007 Passat still on original battery lol
Mobile mechanic myself. Why people bother to post videos on how to do their own business jobs when it basically countrywide and a massive effect on downturn of new customers. All you should have done is measure on min setting battery as cranking. Less 9v change battery. Or disconnected battery and connected AUTEL battery tester and analysed it. Stay busy
