vz sv6 battery replacement

[Sash182]

After owning a vt for 6 years and replacing the battery twice i would have thought it would have been the same if not more easy to change in the vz. Why did holden decide to take the battery rail that clamps down onto your battery away in the vz, instead leavin a nut at the base where the battery sits? I dont have child hands and had to pull off the radiator shroud to get to it, Did i miss somthing or is that the only way?

I use a long extension and a socket...12mm if i remember

[andyman]

is it a huge deal to remove the shroud? as said just use a long extension

[Veriton]

13mm socket actually .

well thats ok if you have an extension long enough. It is a big deal to remove the shroud when your only chnging over a battery.

Mate the shroud doesnt take long to remove - 5 clips & its off! 30secs at most.

well i think you should keep sending your car to a mechanic, cause if you get flustered with that, wait until you do a water pump, than you have to remove the shroud and he serpentine belt, if your really keen you can take the intake tube off too for more room......

so many smart asses in here no wonder people are going to other clubs
seems no question is hard enough

[Sash182]

I never said i was flustered only that i would have thought it would have been the same as the vt if not more simple design. no need to be a smart ass about it. it's people like u and about 6 others that flame people on here whenever they want to voice there opinions.

shroud plays a big role, its not a an asthetic thing, it directs air into the radiator rather than over the top which could make it over heat

yeah lifes tough, i think holden could make it easier to refill the window washer fluid on the vp, popping that black cap just stumps me every time.

[DannyboyDS]

its not just random twats though, allot of people who really should know better take every chance that comes along to start an argument.

I think my sig sums up this thread perfectly though.

[markovr]

my vr is way harder to get to that hold down bolt....the vz is a walk in the park compared to that.
No biggy just do what you have to....and move on

[wortus]

Holden probably changed it because a plastic block and a bolt is cheaper than a clamp over the top of the battery.
