Default Re: Diesel battery specs

Apparently there are 2 types. Glass mat or ELB and the car has to be programmed to the right one or else you'll kill it in 12 months. Got onto Battery World in Greensborough, Vic. He knew exactly what was needed so I'm going there tomorrow at 10 when they open for a new one. Lucky I've got the ELB at $480. The glass mat was $600. Its the original Ford battery so 5 years isn't too bad......although I got 7 1/2 from a Varta in the wife's VW Jetta a few years ago. Replaced the battery and she write it off 3 months later. 2 days on new front pads and rotors...haha.
