Hi if you don't recode the battery after installing the new one you will kill the new unit in record time as the BEM still thinks its the old battery and carries on charging the new unit at the same rate as the failing unit, the BEM has no way of self rationalising the fact that the battery is new and has to be told it has a new unit and then it will modify the charge rate against the charge resistance from the new battery, plenty of explanatory blogs on the net, all this coding malarkey started back in the early noughties as they were developing multi CCM modules which don't like voltage spikes. Steve.

Hi Steve, I got the full oil and filters kit today, £156 all in, hopefully get it fitted at the weekend. I will still code the battery just to be on the safe side when get it. I opted for the filter kit first as the battery hasn't put a foot wrong since. I will probably get round to it before the end of the month if it doesnt throw any more hiccups. Shy of forking out £300+ in one week LOL

Tickets have now gone on sale 🙂 I've just bought mine 🙂

I've just booked my tickets for the show 🙂

no need to code the battery to the car unless im very much mistaken also Kevin the best bit of VAG software you can buy is ODIS with a cable, there's a few usually on adverts.ie and are worth their wait in gold. If your using VCDS for coding its easy but for the deeper dive into your car and codes ODIS is the only way to go Ive tried them all over the years

Noticed you said "filters" Steve? I looked online and it looks like theres two filters in this box? or two different types? Would expect the standard flat filter that goes on underneath the pan but the round long one looks different from the Norm? I'm not big into Auto transmissions and on a learning curve. Just recently done my Yankee Mustang so realise about diagnostic temp checks when getting the right oil level in transmission etc.
