Battery Change - 3008 GT-Line 2.0 HDI (2018)

[Cal15549]

Hi,

I'm trying to swap out the battery in my 3008, but the set-up of the engine is completely different to anything else I can find online. My air filter is directly in front of the battery, which has meant I've had to remove the filter lid and filter to access the bolts on the bracket below. On any of the videos I've watched, the two bolts at the front can be accessed relatively easily, but the second bolt that I need to unscrew is underneath something else and I've no idea what it is. Has anyone else with the same set-up any advice on what it is and how to work around it?

Thanks.

This video is for a 2018 model and it appears to be straightforward. If you have something different then post a picture of the difference to the one in this video and you may get some suggestions.

Should have posted pics in the first place! I've watched a load of these videos, they all seem to be for 1.6hdi engines, and the air filter housing is to the side of the battery instead of in front.

I eventually managed to get to the 2nd bolt on the BPGA, but found it easier to do after prying out the plastic clamp then unscrewing the bolt instead of doing the bolts first like in those videos.

This was all done with the air filter lid taken off for access, even then it wasn't ideal.

For some reason I can't add pics to the post, but anyway, problem solved!
