VW T6 2016 starter battery replacement...

[PompeyMagnus]

Hello, just had starter battery replaced. I asked the technician to code it, too, but interestingly he said 2016 T6s pre-date coding. Wonder if anyone else has experienced this?

Thanks.

Is it's got a sensor on the battery neg post, it needs coding.

If they is no sensor, then no coding needed.

Post a pic of the battery and will see?

Looks like a sensor that me..... So needs coding in.

Id assume the van has stop/start then?

And you have an AGM, another sign of stop start.

You can code yourself with Carista.

Thread 'Upgrading Starter Battery - how to guide'

12 Jun 2019

My van (April 2017 T28) is fitted with a Moll battery.
I am experiencing some issues with it not starting after a few days sitting on the drive. Now this could be due to the tracker I have fitted draining it but I doubt it, I'll do some drain current tests before taking the plunge.
If I were to change the battery myself, could I replace it with a larger capacity one (eg a 95Ah 850A G14 Varta AGM which should just fit in the battery tray) instead of the standard 70Ah 700A Moll?
Is there anything I need to do to let the van know it has a different battery fitted? (I have VCDS if needed)

Carista - How I Done It -

Part-1


Modern cars and vans are now technologically very advanced, gone are the old days of “points and condenser” or distributer caps, spark plug leads and the like.

The Dark-Art of vehicle diagnostics was always something the main dealers wanted to keep very secret . . . . . and for a while they got their own way.

In later years this was to all change with the standardisation and formation of OBD and OBDII protocols which all the main manufactures had to abide by. The main reason for this was so that 3rd party repair shops would be able to work on your...

Hi Dell, yes it does have stop/start, sorry should have said. It was RAC technician who installed new one this morning and told me it didn't need coding! I'm going to email RAC and ask them to come back out and double check. Just paid them £281, and don't want premature battery failure. Thanks for replying, really helpful.
