Hi. When I was tightening the restraining bar I think I tightened the far side too much and it seemed to pull the screw up too much. Looks like its a metal wire that the screw is attached to . If that makes sense?

[@adamanthony7465]

Valuable and many thanks...do I not need to reset electronic codes somehow on our Mk6 after fitting...I don't know if a memory saver is worth having?

[@bigtedshome]

Thanks Adam. I'm pretty sure that you will need to reset the radio code for a Mk6 fiesta. This might help www.scegliauto.com/en/video/ford/tutorial/32868/

[@adamanthony7465]

Thank you for encouragement Wonderfully enough our Fiesta was delivered used with the radio code card included.🕯️

[@daddyalphacooks]

Thanks for this, so I wouldn't need a radio code for my daughters 2012 fiesta ?.

[@bigtedshome]

Shouldn't do. I didn't for my daughter's 2010 Fiesta

[@daddyalphacooks]

@@bigtedshome thanks, try tomorrow (subcribed)

[@daddyalphacooks]

@@bigtedshome all done and radio didn't need a code, thanks for your help & you're content is spot on.

[@bigtedshome]

@@daddyalphacooks no problem, I'm glad it went well. Thanks for the great feedback 👍

[@fukingmagnets]

is there any need to code the battery/computer after changing the battery? 2015 model

[@bigtedshome]

I'm pretty sure that you don't need a radio code for any of the mark 7 fiestas. I didn't and there's a comment below from the owner of a 2012 fiesta who didn't either. If you have stop:start on your fiesta, it might be worth reading this: www.fordownersclub.com/forums/topic/118012-replacing-battery/

[@fukingmagnets]

@@bigtedshome No the radio works fine. I was thinking if there was any other reason to have it coded. I have read somewhere that if you change the capacity of the battery you need to code it in order for it to charge correctly or something. I also have start/stop, but that has never worked for some reason..

[@bineeshbala]

Any problem for radio, while removing battery?

[@bigtedshome]

No, it wasn't a problem

[@davidfoster3005]

Just tried too change mine but I can’t seem too get the cross bar off, the nuts are just spinning ?

[@bigtedshome]

That doesn't sound good. Can you get something like a screwdriver underneath the nut to push/lever it upwards as you turn it?

[@RobertMofokeng]

What size is the battery

[@l00n4tic9]

Just tried doing mine but can't get the brace nuts off. Put WD 40 on and still won't come off 🤣

[@bigtedshome]

You should be able to get more torque if you have (or can borrow) a socket set. Good luck!

@@bigtedshome I have one but the screw it too long 🤣
