Thank-you. It was well worth watching this before doing the job, even if "remove air filter box" was not quite as simple as it looked in the video. The remarkable thing is that it was much easier to put it all back together.
Nice and clear, but I was not able to push the air hose fully home into the recess on the box once done. It is very stiff and there are two clips to depress, one on the side, one on the bottom. It's impossible to get leverage and pull the hose fully onto the box so that it clicks. It's in by about an inch and a half but still not ideal. I even took the washer fluid filler off to give me more space.... no better!
I had what I thought was the same issue, but once I calmed the red mist down I realised that actually it seems you have one that seats in the visible opening and one sits against the box opening. If you look at the internal ridges it then made sense that it wouldn't push in further. At least that's my final assessment and I hope to never have to fiddle around with that again while I have the car. Haha
I got it solved with a little (big) help from someone. He took out this "rubber" hose from that goes into the radiator I guess. Then you could get it on the box.. Then this whole thing back into place, also not easy, but easier then the other method
What type of socket do I need to remove the cable around 37 seconds in? I cannot get a spanner in whilst the battery is still in place. I believe it is a pass thru socket, is this right?
@@HaynesManuals Hi, thanks for that I've got that sorted. However my bracket to hold the battery in place has no screw holding it in place though surprisingly the bracket is still there. Can you tell me what screw is required, size and thread etc? Thanks
Mine looked different as well. And it would not come loose… instead, I opened the filter box, removed the filter so it won't get dirty, and I was able to remove the battery with the air filter's bottom casing still in its place.
Good job you said close the bonnet @3:30 as I was wondering why I couldnt see anything whilst driving around! - Jokes aside, very helpful! Thanks
Where would we be without Haynes manuals? Fantastic resource, professionally done.
Many thanks, your comments are much appreciated!

Glad it helped
I suppose someone could have made this a bit more difficult...
But excellent video as without this process would be impossible.
Thanks for your comments. Hopefully you found it useful
Great video thank you. It really helped a lot to know what to do and the sequence of things and made the a lot job quicker 👍
Glad it helped
Thank you for the instructions!
You're welcome!
Thank you for the helpful video
You're welcome!
you also need to reset BMS after the battery change!
Great video. Will need to do this tomorrow 😢 do i need to use the petroleum jelly? (Vaselin?)
Yes, a layer of petroleum jelly over the terminals and clamps will help prevent corrosion.

Great stuff, thanks!
You're welcome
Nice! Video did not inform about if and how BMS is reset. Is resetting needed?
If the same specification of battery is fitted, the BMS shouldn't need resetting.
What type of socket do I need to remove the cable around 37 seconds in? I cannot get a spanner in whilst the battery is still in place. I believe it is a pass thru socket, is this right?
A deep socket - have a look at 2'56"

Battary 100A ? 2.2dci
& size 350x190?
Do I need reset BMS?
Not according to our manual
At 1:13 it says remove the smaller clip, but my galaxy only has one. It is not separating so wondered if there is a way to split this please.
If your vehicle only has the large connector, there's no need to separate it.
@@HaynesManuals great thanks
My air filter doesn't look like that at all! Nore has it got a battery like that!

This is ridiculously complicated.
