I was just wondering if there are any guides on here to changing the battery on a gti 180?
The garages want £90 so i think i'm going to buy one and do it myself.

A GTI 180 is MULTIPLEXED.

The BSI must be shut down / booted up in the correct way else your risking having to bend over & Vaseline treament from the local Peugeot main dealer Wink

If you tried using the SEARCH function on the forum you would find the correct info on how to shut down / boot up the BSI safely so you can change your battery.
