Hi Steve,

yes as you say when I had my focus I could literally do most jobs on it put it back together it would run ropey for few days then sort itself out .

Ian.

Hi Gareth,

Thanks for your message and input I’m only glad I didn’t go in like a bull in a china shop and disconnect it as I said before I have come from a 2008 Ford Focus things moved on from then 😄.

kind regards,

Ian.

Ah ok thanks Steve for your replies.

Hi the only way you may get away without a reset and all the other associated problems is get another battery of the same voltage amp hour rating and connect it with jump cables to the jump start posts in the engine bay, this maintains the voltage continuity while you remove very carefully the main battery terminals and isolate them in a pair of marigold gloves, forgive the stupid question but why do you have to clean the battery terminals on a 2019 car?.

Hi thanks Steve oh maybe I’ll leave well alone then it’s just that I only had the car around a month and it looks like a bit of corrosion on positive terminal. May I ask what happens then if I ever have to replace the battery do I need to take it to an Audi dealer. Forgive me as I’m coming from an old 2008 Ford Focus and things moved on since then .😄
