Well the Varta F18 battery did not fit in my CGV 2.8 crd 2007 I had to mod the battery by cutting the fitting lugs off the to ends of the battery. All so take the protecting cover of the ECU the one in front of the battery and resealing it from water and it went in wow did not expect that.

One more thing thanks for the link on amazon at £1.99 u have to get one and I will be able to keep tabs of the state of charge on my battery cheers

Got a f18 yesterday and fitted it so fingers crossed I should be OK for some time thanks for your help QinteQ it's nice to know people can be so helpful

All manuals are here all service manuals are here, key dance [will not do transmission codes] is here. Auto gearbox's I'm sure you will agree are in the realms of the 'dark arts department' most of us don't really understand them since the invention of [computer run solenoids] the CANBUS and then the different speed hybrid PCi & CANBUS's running at different speeds moderated by the BCM and routed by the PCM in the same vehicle. I've always tried to avoid 'parts darts' without an accurate starting point which is a competent 'read' of the 41TE errors. Most of the A604 / 41-TE shifting issues are here. The bottom line is you really can't afford not to have the transmission read properly before spending any money otherwise it would be parts darts my friend. At £6 a litre an ATF +4 change is always a bet - but a good one - its the number one failure reason. Many small indi's will have a capable reader for your year vehicle at about £35 a pop but you will have to ring round and ask : - chrysler- year- 41TE NOTE : I'd pin down any so called expert by pre-buying and supplying ATF +4 and insisting on its use. I've met many so called good well intentioned experts who really do believe that ATF without the +4 will do because its cheaper and they make more [profit] margin. Best of luck.
