How to change the battery in an Opel Vivaro

Model: Vauxhall Vivaro MK 1 - Years 2001-2014
Part: Battery

In this video, we see the steps to follow in order to change the battery of an Opel Vivaro vehicle. As we can see, the battery location is not the standard one in the engine compartment, but rather inside the vehicle cabin, under the driver's seat. So first, we remove the carpet at the foot of the seat and unscrew the nuts that hold the battery cover in place. Once the cover panel is removed, we will have access to the battery. At this point, we proceed by removing the negative terminal clamp and then the positive terminal clamp, and finally unscrewing the fixing nuts at the base of the battery, so we can proceed to extract it. Once the old battery is removed, we proceed to insert the new battery and follow the previous steps in reverse order: we secure the battery to the lower bar, connect the positive terminal and then the negative terminal, and finally secure the cover.
