Battery?

I found this surprising as I've recently done a couple of long motorway trips and so I would have assumed the battery would be fully charged. As it wasn't then this suggests a battery not holding its charge and so in need of replacement.

I may get it changed at some point anyway. I just know it will decide to give up the ghost on a cold, wet night...
Like you, my fault code seems to have disappeared, the car will not be used for a few weeks over Christmas/ New year so I will see what happens. If the fault returns then I will get a new battery, It may be just coincidence but, this problem has always occurred when I have left a usb stick plugged in :o The usb lights up when in use but I would not have thought that it would be live when the ignition is off.

Cheers Keith.
You can register / code it with Carly
Even when replacing battery with like for like you should still register the new battery to the car, as the IBS will charge a new battery differently to the old one

I’ve had an issue with my battery for a couple of weeks.

I went to KwikFit for a free check and it was really useful. They were able to confirm that the battery was good, just discharged a little. The test also also looked at the charging system to confirm it was all ok.

Well worth the visit.

If you're in the AA just run it till it stops, call them and they will fit and code a new battery for you. It will cost less than a dealer and you get an extended warranty on the battery of 5 years.

Interesting. I've actually got an extended BMW warranty, which has their cover. I wonder if the same applies...? :?

Worth a look, lots of people have AA cover as part of a premium bank account benefit package. I have a premier account with Lloyds, comes with full AA cover and courtesy car included!

Battery?

I decided that after seeing the battery discharge warning for well over 3 months that it was time to get the battery changed. Admittedly i did not know that i had to have the battery coded to the car.

after a trip to the stealers and being quoted about £170 plus coding (about £30 i think) i thought bugger that and searched the internet. best i could find for a Bosch or Yuasa 5 year battery was about £95.00 but i would still have the coding issue and the extra cost.

quick call to my local battery dealer in Bedford and got a cost of £92.00 inc VAT fitting and coding for the Yuasa 5 year 80Ahr /800CCA.

when installing the battery they installed a jump battery in the footwell and connected a supply to the OBDII port. They said this was to maintain the memory in the ECU's around the car.

battery was installed and hey presto........ no dash lights!!! it would start and do all sorts of normal things, but no oil,charge,seatbelt, airbag lights NOTHING.

they then recalled that this had happened a few time before on 3 series (I suppose it was an E9X series) and a fuse to the dash gets blown.

they traced the fuse (showed me the easy way to get the fuse box down) and all done.

£92.00 bargain.

Easy 10 mins job to change :thumbsup:
I would get the battery reset done ASAP. Could cause issues with the new battery.

You don't need to code the battery if it's the same rating and type but you do need to reset the charging adaptations which is what most people mean when they said it needs "coding".

The reset is quite simple and can be done though INPA in 5 minutes or with MHD Flasher in 30 seconds.

Coding is a little more involved but still only a 15min task.

I agree RE92 although my understanding is if you replace the battery with same type you just need to "Register" it to the vehicle, coding only required if battery is different type.
But yes you will shorten the life of the new battery if it's not registered.

Very quick job with Carly
