Hi all
my Insignia 2012 is still running its original Opel accu (AGM 100 Ah). My start-stop function has never worked since the battery didn't get to 94-95% to make the function work. I bought the car second hand (no warranty on the battery, so the garageholder/seller told me after I complained, they're all in the monster business of carselling, real crooks). Question is, is it doable to replace the accu myself? Someone told me that experts keep the current on the car to avoid loss of radio-unit (re-entering the code), other data on the BC etc...
I've seen an instruction video and it seems doable, only point of attention was to first loosen the grounding point ? The independent battery-garage offered me a Varta 95Ah AGM all-in for 220 euros. The Opel garage priced me 380 euro for the service including OEM Opel battery (what a joke!). If I install myself, the battery is available for 180 euro on the net...
