nice easy instructions on how to change a battery, not long had mine done, but I done it the easy way, paid a mechanic £10 to do it for me, mines a 2014 diesel and the battery is twice the size of the one you changed, meaning I could not change it myself due to being disabled, great video as usual.
Thanks for your kind comments! Yes, the diesels are much bigger, I changed the one in my 2.0 165bhp diesel (before I started doing these clips) - That was really heavy made harder by nothing decent to hold on to. Hence the weetabix comment! :D Anything in particular you want to see next?
@@zafira-tourer-videos changing the heater blower and heater resistor, currently my heater blower works when it feels like it, which i can not understand as the motor in it was replaced about 2yrs ago under warrenty from the garage i bought it from
Oh. Great. I have a Grandland X 1.6TD and I was told I should do battery change with a qualified garage. Vauxhall have quoted me £165 to check if the battery needs to be changed or not. Not for changing the battery. For checking if it needs to be changed. For that price I can get a new battery!
Hi, very useful video. Is there a current sensor on the negative terminal of the Zafira Tourer. I woulsd like to know for charging direct to the battery terminals, while in situ
Thanks for the video I’d took it out b4 I watched but really useful. Absolute bastard to get it out though why do they make everything so awkward lol. Thanks again
Thanks for the subscribe! Much appreciated! No car battery changes, as mentioned your electric windows will need to re-learn auto down/up. But than that, it's a straight swap
thx for vid, the plate that you wiggled out went really smoothly out for you, on my it corroded so hard it was a hassle ;D btw. putting paper over the terminal clamps, if there would be contact to spark, isn't that a fire hazard? xd
Thanks, yes I'm lucky our 2016 SE has little to no corrosion anywhere. Yes possible, but I wrap up quite a bit, using large Costco paper towels, so there should be very low risk of any spark/metal contacts.
Great help pal ,those extra small connectors threw me a bit ,but this video sorted my brain out
Glad it helped

If you have a few spanners, do it yourself! :) - With the money saved, have a meal or two out!
Thanks

Not that I know of, I would take that reading off a trickle charger?

Great video. I just wanted to know, is it safe to charge the battery while it's connected to the car? Thanks.
Yes, absolutely. Use a trickle charger
Very nice video mate. Do u have a video of how to change spark plug? I have vauxhall zafira tourer 2017. 1.4 turbo engine
Someone else asked this as well recently, I will make one as I have new plugs and coil pack to go in. Will try and do a video in the next week or two
Thanks
Thanks for video! Do you need to mak some settings on car computer (through OBD2) for the new battery?
(liked and subscribed) ;-)
