How do you replace the power battery in the Opel Astra J?

Model: Vauxhall Astra Astra J - Years 2009-2016
Part: Battery

The methodology used in the video guide presented here, which refers to the Opel Astra J, is not different from that applied to all vehicles. We come to the battery replacement when we notice difficulty or even inability to start the engine, and this is because it is partially or completely discharged. Its replacement involves keeping the instrument panel off, opening the hood, removing the protective cover of the aforementioned battery, disconnecting the negative terminal, then the positive terminal, removing the cross locking bar, and finally extracting the battery from its compartment. The reverse procedure is followed for the installation of the new battery.

Installation of Upgraded Intercooler Radiator with Pipes

Lift the vehicle on suitable axle stands, remove the front wheels, and then the front bumper and grille. Proceed to remove the front headlights; drain the coolant, remove the intercooler radiator and the hoses connecting it to the intake system. Position the new intercooler radiator in the grille, temporarily securing it with cable ties, and mark with a marker the part of the metal that needs to be removed to allow the new hoses to pass through. Cut the marked portion of metal and apply a gasket to the edge. Remove the inner cover of the bumper and position it near the radiator to identify any interfering parts to eliminate: again, apply a gasket to the edge of the cut. Create brackets for securing the new radiator and proceed with the installation of the connecting pipes from the radiator to the intake, shaping and connecting them appropriately. Finally, reassemble the bumper, headlights, and grille.
