Can someone confirm or refute this :-

I was in with my local ( local chain) tyre depot yesterday and the subject of batteries came, up with the 25 years-employed-with-them, manager. 

He told me that the battery on the Q7 was under the seat (passenger?) and to replace the battery, the seat and associated air bags have to be removed in order to change it. He recons on it being up to an 8 hour job when everything is taken into account. Is this correct, and at main dealer hourly rates who would you arrange a mortgage with!? 

I like learning of things I don't know about, but it would be reassuring to have some expert independent opinion since it sounds rather unbelievable. 

Kind regards,

Gareth.

😂 undo the 2 bolts holding the front seat assembly to the floor, move the seat forward and the whole thing pivots backwards into the rear seat area. The battery is under a cover with spring clips on then held in place by a 10mm bolt clamp. Takes 30 - 45 minutes

Many thanks Dave,

Always good to have the correct angle on these things.

Kind regards,

Gareth.
