Hi I am trying to change the battery on my 02 audi a6 avant which seemed straightforward (i now know differently) I can't get the battery out. Can anyone please advise me how to do this.
Thanks

You have to remove the cable form that runs along the inside of the bulkhead in front of the battery. Remeve the cable form the Bulkhead on the RHS then ease the mpulded cable form up and over the bulkhead lip to allow the battery out. Regards Peter

Once the bulkhead is removed and the wire is out of the RHS of the battery it is held in at the bottom by a clamp. How do you remove the battery from this. I am struggling to work out how it is done.
Cheers and help from anyone would be appreciated.

There is a bolted down clamp on the drivers side of the battery which has to be removed and then the moved to the left about 2 cm and then lifted. If you can not figure out how to remove the battery you should not be playing around with your car. Get some informed assisatance. Regards Peter

To be fair getting the battery out of an Audi is not a lot of fun! I have removed cylinder heads, rebuilt brakes, changed wheel bearings and all sorts over the years.

Had to replace the battery on her in doors A4 Cabriolet and it was awful. I couldn't even see the clamp at first let alone get to it. Knuckles were scuffed, back ache and liberal use of swear words. All this just to get a battery out!

I much prefer the way BMW mount the battery in the boot.

Careful Steve... B** is a swear word itself.
