OK nothing too scary then, It's a varta battery in there just now but it's not been very good, gets used every day of the year as well.

Windows will need resetting also, OPC was more than happy for me to swap battery when mine died.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

You'll get a few faults displayed such as PSM failure but they'll clear after you've run it for a few minutes - they will show up on the computer on your next service though - nothing to worry about.

Opc was going to charge me for this but did it as a gesture of good will...
OK nothing too scary then, It's a varta battery in there just now but it's not been very good, gets used every day of the year as well.
Just had a look, think it's Bosch S4010, can anyone confirm? £72 delivered not too scary
Thanks,
Dunc.
Edit Bosch also do a S5010 for "upper class cars"
It's £85, worth the extra?

They are twice the CCA of the standard battery so either will be fine, I guess.
All done, no problem beyond a few flashy lights on the dash on start up. Keeps the radio station and CD names etc too
On the 2007 cayman it's in the front boot right next to the bulk head under a plastic cover. It's mounted very high which isn't ideal but I guess packaging problems dictated this.
Cheers,
Dunc.
I think you can avoid all this "resetting" if you get some thin wires and crocodile clips so that the new battery is connected before you disconnect the old one. You don't need heavy jump start cables - just normal wire and some decent crocodile clips.

What actually needs to be reset? OPC said they had to do this on my car and should have charged me but as a gesture of good will they didn't...
Freak it's a beast isn't it!
On the resetting stuff, the radio stations stay and the clock sets itself which is cool. Only thing I had to do was put the windows up and down and even at that it could probably just wait until the next time you put the window down?
Cheers,
Dunc.

Nope.
Bosch use the En measurement and Moll Kamina batteries
(who make the Porsche one) use Din measurement
which is why it appears much lower but is in effect, roughly the same.
Of course the dealer will still make you fit the Moll if you want the warranty.
