Hi all,
Something new which has just come up, I have never seen it before.
A friend has a R172 SLK 250 cdi with start stop. He hasn't driven the car for about 6 months and the battery is now flat.
I had a look online and this car has what's called a AGM battery, which is suitable for start stop.
Not only is it really expensive at £150 but it says "Halfords Start/Stop batteries come fully charged and ready to fit. Most vehicles will require this battery to be registered with the on-board computer system, therefore professional fitting at a Halfords store is strongly recommended."
Fitting they charge at £25!
I have a trade card so I can pick up the battery for £120 and usually I would fit it myself. I can't find anything online about coding?
Has anyone replaced a battery recently?
Thanks
