I have seen a youtube video for coding the battery with a OBD11. Can you use a OBD2.

Winchester area. We do have a local Facebook site for the area i live in so i may post on there to see if anybody has any information about getting the battery coded.

Its having the equipment to change even one digit is the issue. Physically replacing the battery isn't an issue, it's the code.

I have just seen a YOU TUBE video on battery coding. The video even recommends coding for the same type of battery.

Thanks for the reply. You say i'll have to change type coding. I have to ask what is the battery type coding? Cheers

Hi, i have an Octavia estate 2L diesel Mk 5, which i believe is a 5e5. First thing in the mornings it can take a bit of turning before it starts. Once it's going its not to bad, but i do charge it every now and then and then it behaves for a little while. I do get some funny messages when its a bit slow to start, so i am thinking that maybe its time for a new battery as it is still on its original battery. My question is; AGM or EFB battery. Some say EFB, but the car is fitted with a Varta AGM battery. Will it make a difference if a EFB battery is fitted. Regards.
