This is the tool i used icarsoft vaws 3.0 - Google Search I got it from Diagnostic World and done the updates on it, I was just unsure to start wit as i didn't want to start something i couldn't get out of. When i first finished putting the new battery in the stop/ Start only worked when i put the car into park position, after a short drive it worked properly. Thanks again everyone always get useful information.

Thank You for all the information it has been very helpful, Stop/Start is now working fine after taking it for a longer run. Perhaps the ECU had to learn that a new battery had been fitted. all working great now 👍

Update, changed my battery today with no problems. i registered the new battery with mu icarsoft Vaws 3.0 , i started by turning off radio and heater. after reconnecting the new battery i didn't lose any radio presets, only thing i lost was the trip meter. also after turning steering wheel fully to left and right cleared any warning lights on dash. Taken it for a drive and all seems well apart from the STOP/START doesn't seem to be working properly at the moment, but been told it can take a while for the ECU to learn a new battery has been fitted. Anyone else came across that ? Would like to thank you all for the information you have given me.

Thank You

Just another question does anyone use a memory saver when disconnecting their car battery to save losing settings such as clock and radio settings if so what type do you use ? I know my cigarette lighter is not permanently live when the ignition is off. And is it wise to connect power to the ODB port without causing ang damage.

Thanks for the info my battery has failed the test with Topdon BT200 and will still replace it with an EFB but 700A instead of 680A. my only concern is getting the battery in as there isn't much room.. i have a vaws 3.0 to code battery in if needed. Any information to make the job a bit easier is greatly appreciated .

Many thanks everyone for the useful information.

Hi, has anyone changed there own battery on Skoda superb mk3 has STOP/START. and realize that it has to be coded in. Car is 2018 so the battery has lasted well, thinking of getting Yuasa EFB096 Start/Stop Battery from Halfords while it is in the sales. Any Thoughts please or recommendations.

Many Thanks , i will go down that route. That did make me think also that I maybe leaving dirt at the bottom of the sump, but as you say will be doing it between the dealer oil change. Thank You.

Thank You, that does seem a good idea. would you do that from the dip stick hole? Would certainly make the job a lot quicker. providing I don't get any plastic pipes stuck. ☺️

Well I have decided to carry out Oil Changes about every 6000 Miles or so and feel better knowing the oil filter is next to the dip stick . I don't have a pit i can put the car over so thinking of putting on ramps, does anyone have any suggestions on ramps some seem to be a steep incline so just looking for something that is easy enough to get on and get the car high enough. Thanks for any help as always.

I found this video interesting. :- We Are Adjusting Our Oil Change Intervals At The Shop!

62000 had 5 oil changes from main Dealer. Think it would make me feel better to know the oil is protecting the internal parts of the engine and reducing ware.

Thanks Ian , That is what I strongly believe in that 6000 Miles should be the max. I'm sure oil cannot be protecting engine parts when its been in for 15000 +
