Technical Doblo 1.9 JTD Battery replace

[g1rvp]

Hi,
I would like to replace the starter battery on my Doblo 1.9JTD (55 Plate).

Question, will it loose the immo code ? getting conflicting answers from Fiat main dealers.

Not bothered about radio code as I have replace the head unit with none coded JVC.

Both blue keys have a (2) marked on them but I have no code card although I do have a 5 digit number written in the service book. (hope this is the immo code).

Any help would be welcome - thanks.

Hi g1tcp, I couldn't guarantee anything, who could, but I have disconnected my battery before without any codes being lost. John

Many thanks John. I will have to bite the bullet soon as the battery is showing signs of old age (like the driver ) . I would have been less concerned if I had the original code card etc. but as I don't know the full history I have this fear that it looses the code and the dealers can't help me. They dont seem to be very helpful on the phone.

Regards
Pete

I've always been told there's some sort of time limit, so to up to about half an hour would be OK to unhook the battery.
You won't loose important codes when changing batteries.

1) No you wont lose the immobiliser code
2) code card not supplied to UK market
3) Dealerships are a business, very few businesses give out free information.
