Thanks for a great video. As others have said, you've made everything extremely clear, both in terms of sensible and relevant camera angles and also really helpful commentary ... both of which are sadly all too often lacking in such videos! Extra insights into how to manage specific quirks of each fitting, which tools might work best in those awkward angles etc. are all extremely helpful. When so many manufacturers seem to be making otherwise simple tasks (such as changing a battery) as difficult and inaccessible as possible these days (🤑🤑!) videos like this are fab ... Thank you!
This video is actually really helpful. Somebody told me I have to visit Renault to get my battery changed. Thanks to this tutorial I will save at least 200€. THANK YOU! PS: My Scenic 3 1.6 dCi battery is 10 years old. Seems like these batteries last an absurd amount of time.
I swapped my battery today following this. It's a great, clear set of instructions. I neglected to unlock the car using the keycard button initially, so the alarm went off as soon as I disconnected the negative terminal. But I got there in the end. Thanks.
Good video, went to halfords to buy battery, then they said they need to fit it. As need to electronically tell car it has new battery. Done all that, gentlemen said he does not need to Electronically tell the car. We'll he did as car keeps asking me does it have a new battery. Great support from watching this video. And managed to sort it out my self. Thank you very much.
Super video. Very methodical. I just purchased a Scenic 3 a month past. Hopefully not to must will go wrong soon. Not a bad little car. Drove from Grays in Essex to Cairnryan Scotland, ferry to NI then home. Drove not too badly with at the moment no strange noises. Many thanks for the tutorial. (Antrim)
The most clear, how to do it car vid I have seen on UA-cam and Ive seen a few. Highly intelligent , conscientious. Glad he does the bitch scenic for me.
This is the best tutorial video I have seen for years! Well worth watching, crystal clear instructions and pointing out things and procedures to look out for.(like the advice about the deep 10 m/m socket needed for the positive terminal) - if your like me - I normally come across these awkward to reach nuts and then spend half an hour hunting for the correct tool👿 (which delays the job.) - Forewarned is forearmed. one minor criticism(no way intended to be rude) - is that the focus on the camera at times was not great(but as a budding camcorder enthusiast - I know how difficult getting the correct focus all of the time can be!) Will try and purchase a battery terminal cleaning tool as well!
Great explanation and beat me to it re the battery outlasting the Renault, awful cars to fix. My battery coming up to 9 years showed low battery recharge today when the headlights decided to stay on with engine off for about 20mins. 12.58V DC engine off, 14V DC engine on. Probably need to replace.
Great informative video which made me sadder to realise that the previous servicing(no names no pack drill) had been performed by cowboys.The ECU cover was completely missing as is the battery box extension that clips into the back of the battery box. What a shame that main dealers have so little pride in their work.
Very good video, I plan to replace the battery on the Renault Talisman 2016, do you think there will be the same message for the battery when I install it?
I'm afraid I don't know and I couldn't find any information on it. You could try and hope a message comes up. If not you would have to reset the BMS using a scanner.
Nice tidy installation! I use AGM batteries even if my car doesn't have start-stop function for it's better performance and not giving of gases that will cause corrosion. It costs a bit more but if you love your car it's worth it.
Hello, please, can the plastic cover for the battery on the 1.6 dci engine be installed without removing those frames and parts from under the windshield? I tried but that little leg under the lid won't let me. Thank you
Another great vid. Any idea if a 2022 Tce 140 Captur can just have the old battery disconnected and a new one installed like this Scenic or is it more involved? I appreciate it's a newer car and not many of them will have seen their original battery need replacing already.
I'm afraid I don't know. Some newer cars do have procedures to follow with things like window settings ect. Do some googling to see if there is any info.
@@SocketsAndSideburns cheers. Will do. For now I've fitted a "Battery-Guard" from InTact and am monitoring the charging and discharging cycles. The stresses all these electronics put on batteries these days is unreal. I may upgrade the 60Ah EFB, which comes across as quite small given the workload, for an AGM one. Unfortunately without modifying the battery tray that's the biggest Ah battery that will fit in the car. I believe Renault modified the tray after 2022 to allow a 70Ah unit to be fitted so they probably know the 60Ah one is too small for cars that are doing short trips or are used less frequently. The keyless entry alone is constantly polling around the car to discover a key fob. That's why it turns off itself after something like a week. Keep up the great work. One of the very best channels on youtube you have.

excellent tutorial even for a noddy like me....i note when you were flicking through your messages you had a check parking brake message. my sally gets this from time to time and recently seems the rear brakes are sticking. any thoughts what could be wrong?
@@SocketsAndSideburns thanks for the reply mate....my son in law changed the pads on it today seemed fine for 10 miles or so then started to stick. stinking of brake pads and very hot so im guessing a sticking caliper? hes confident he can change it but unsure if it will need calibrating on a computer after...any idea? sorry to be a pain
@@stuandkids You should have needed a diag tool to handle the pad change that should be able to set it into maintenance mode to change the caliper too. Make sure to check the slider pins first though.
I'm afraid you will need a diagnostic tool that can talk to the EPB control unit in order to see what code has been set. I have made a video on replacing the motor if it turns out to be that causing the problem. You can diagnose that issue without a code reader which I explain how to do in the video. You will need one to reset any parking brake faults though.
What code reader are you using? A simple OBD2 reader will not communicate with the parking brake computer which is different to the engine computer (ECU). Did you place the rear brakes into maintenance mode before changing the pads?
Thanks much for the video, I've changed the battery (the same as yours) following your clear instructions. Once done, I haven't been asked if the battery is a new one, and still have the stop start fault. Any thought ?
Disconnecting the battery should always trigger this message, did you cycle through the messages as sometimes it is hidden by other messages if you have other faults? Did you use a memory saver when changing the battery? If you did then the car wont realise the battery has been changed. Also there is a fuse for the BCM on the back of the battery tray 5amp I think that can blow. Its hidden behind a rubber cover.
The one I'm using in the video is made by lisle. I got it in the USA it is very overpriced in UK. I've put a link in video description to a much cheaper one that is the same type of brush.
@@SocketsAndSideburns huge thanks for your reply, can you tell me if I would require to initiate the battery on reconnection , as an old geezer this new start/stop thingy and battery registration gets me confused, I have use of autel mk 808 scanner, once again huge thanks and regards
I don't believe you have to do anything with the BMS that requires a scan tool but I'm not certain. The Autel MK808 supports BMS reprogramming anyway so you will be fine either way.
@@SocketsAndSideburns huge thanks for this, battery is out and on smart charger, will reconnect at weekend and see what happens, will post results to you And thanks again
@@SocketsAndSideburns fitted AGM battery today, allow I minute or so to initiate, then lights I min, then windows up down, start engine, then steering side to side , YOU WILL REQUIRE 4digit CODE for radio head unit, stop /start back on line , full scan showed no faults, do not hurry procedure and all should be well,. thanks greatly for your interest
@@SocketsAndSideburnsand now i have the message check stop and start hmm and stop and start dont work in 6 degress C , should it work? Or only if engine is in full working temperature?
I would suggest disconnecting the battery again and leaving it for a few hours. Reconnect and see if you get the new battery message. It should come up after a battery disconnection.
When I start my engine exactly the time not coming better resign better resign coming in the 20 minute by passing the 20 minute then battery sign coming with the stop sign
There is likely a fault with the charging system or the battery itself. The fault will not go away unless you fix the cause. Check charging and no parasitic draw. Then if battery is bad, replace.
My car 2018 has a efb battery in it. Got replaced with an agm battery worked fine for a while now the engine warning light came on... been checked no fault codes apart from low power to the gearbox... alternator is OK... now stop start feature stopped working.
So helpful, I followed the instructions, changed the battery by myself and saved 200€ thank you.
Merci pour vos explications . J'ai remplacé ma batterie en 40 minutes sans efforts grâce à vos explications . Thank you very much !

I do try to keep focus but it can be difficult while also trying to actually do the job. Its part of the reason I always use two cameras.
Excellent presentation. I just successfully finished replacing my first battery through your guidance. Thanks
Well done! Hopefully you saved some money.
Gracias por la explicación tan completa...es una alegría que cuelgen este tipo de vídeos...un 10 .
Thanks matey helped me out never done a battery change before
Thanks, very good tutorial, I managed to avoid unscrewing difficult screw on the + part by choosing the one on top of the connector !
