Car Forum / Peugeot Cars / June 2005Changing battery on 406
What problems am I likely to encounter when changing my battery? I appreciate that I will have to re-enter my radio code but is there anything else? Anyone got a Haynes 406 manual for sale it is a R Reg. Thanks > What problems am I likely to encounter when changing my battery? > I appreciate that I will have to re-enter my radio code but is there > anything else? > Anyone got a Haynes 406 manual for sale it is a R Reg. Thanks Have a look on eBay for a second hand manual. Got mine for half the shop price including postage. You may not have to recode the radio. According to the more knowledgeable people on this group it is linked somehow to the ECU which will recognise it when the new battery is connected.

It may also depend on car's manufacturing date, it's true you haven't to recode the radio if it's a muxed car (2001?).

R reg will require the radio code and clock reset but that's it. > What problems am I likely to encounter when changing my battery? > I appreciate that I will have to re-enter my radio code but is there > anything else? > Anyone got a Haynes 406 manual for sale it is a R Reg. Thanks If you can get theAA to do it they have a "Gizmo" that they plug in the ciggy lighter that keeps the power. > > What problems am I likely to encounter when changing my battery? > > I appreciate that I will have to re-enter my radio code but is there > > anything else? > > Anyone got a Haynes 406 manual for sale it is a R Reg.

Presumably 8 AA cells connected in series ? :-) <snip> > If you can get theAA to do it they have a "Gizmo" that they plug in the > ciggy lighter that keeps the power.

I suppose, if you can get hold of a cigarette lighter plug (my electric pump comes with one), an ordinary battery charger would provide power to maintain the codes.

Halford's do one as I got one myself a couple of years ago. It consists of a mains plug-in charger, like a mobile phone charger, with a cigar lighter fitting. That is sufficient to keep the ECU and radio codes whilst you change the battery. Or use jumper leads from another vehicle during the changeover. Wish I'd thought of that before the two battery changes I've made! |
