HOW TO CHANGE A CAR BATTERY - SUBARU WRX / STi

[@MrRobear]

I HOPE THIS VIDEO HELPED YOU CHANGE THE BATTERY IN YOUR VEHICLE. THANK YOU!!

[@denverpurgepaintball7147]

did you have to re flash your tune? also what mileage is this at? i have a 2020 tuned stage 2+ and my battery volts are really fluctuating from 14.3 down to 10.9 so i think a new battery is in my future

[@Shapeshiftr]

Thanks for this insightful and awesome video man!

Life saver 🙌 thanks the black plastic tip drove me nuts. I was about to just cut it off, though you helped. Appreciate your content. 2021 wrx owner. Cheers

I was stumped when I got to the part about the battery tie down post in the front. I couldn't remember where it was hooked when I took the old battery out. Your video helped. I like your style. Right to the point and a good message. The last video I watched the guy spent more time bitching about not having air conditioning in his house and how hot it was in his garage and didn't even show the tie down anchor points! What a jerk!

[@rickvillanova6036]

exactly why I came here. I was aiming for one of the holes in the front and couldn't get it so just hooked it to anything it could grab

Thanks for the vid! I'm finally replacing my factory battery out of my '15 STI. Still working fine but I'm just replacing it due to age and the approaching cold weather! 7 years is pretty good! Guess I got lucky! 😄

[@SKOTxFREE]

Thank you 🙏 i had the same issue with that front battery tie down post. Also gotta wonder why Subaru uses Panasonic batteries? Their regular batteries are cheap AF, so why would I want that in my car? Anyway thanks

[@ericiidx]

Thanks for bringing up the fact that the ECU defaults back to the factory tune when disconnecting the battery. I'm replacing mine this week and did not think of this (I knew the radio and such would reset, but not the tune!)

[@ChiSpire]

Thanks a lot for the video, I looking to see how to remove that plastic piece (with the zip tie) and this helped :)

Hows the battery doing so far?? Is it hella better than the stock batt?

[@streetjustice4287]

Your channel name is clickbait lmao I thought it said “mark rober” and I was like “nice since when does he do car stuff?” Haha appreciate the info man

[@Mike-wc3jo]

What is the wire right next to the part that connect to the battery on the positive side. It’s the ribbed black wire, I just noticed mine is broken

Another great video. Costco batteries. 70 dollars. Happy holidays Subie Dad 🎁

Hi. Need some help. I have a 2018 WRX Limited with an OEM Subaru battery. Electrical system and battery have been fine up till now; no electrical issues at all. I just wanted to clean the corrosion around the terminals. I disconnected both terminals, cleaned them up, and then reconnected it all back at it was. Now I'm having a problem with the Starlink Infotainment system only; every other electrical is good. The radio system will not reboot/restart. The progress bar reaches the end and then starts over again. What gives? Is this typical if you were to change a battery? Is there a way to reset the Starlink radio? There are not options to select, nor does it ask for a radio code. The backup camera works just fine. I tried disconnecting the terminals again, but no luck. Any suggestions?

[@ghibliinu6616]

original battery had 390 cold cranking amps? seems would have little reserve capacity, also what is the "fuse resistor" for in the positive terminal? thanks!

[@davidst4896]

? I have stage 1 also did you have to reflash?

[@taureantrouble6586]

So if I disconnect the battery I lose my whole tune and have to get it retuned?

[@taureantrouble6586]

I’ve just come to the issue of a whole bunch of error codes flooding my dash, the car is stuck in sport mode and the passenger windows don’t wind down from the drivers side control

[@Mzinya]

You have to reset the windows every time you disconnect the battery. It's easy I don't know about sport mode though.

[@harrypoter4465]

my car doesnt lose tune from a dead battery from cobb as well

[@hermant.k.8216]

need or no need to reset ecu or others after replacement?

[@michaeldeww]

probably need radio code?

[@michaeldeww]

Actually just changed mine , a 2011 wrx hatch and it didn't need a radio code

[@Kcroc]

that plastic clip did not release with ease, i had to melt it off regardless of pushing the tab to the center

[@SKOTxFREE]

Wait not the cap on the negative wire? You don’t have to remove that to remove the wire from the post. I almost made the mistake of removing it before I noticed the real reason that won’t come off is because of the lube on the post being so sticky and dry.

[@BloodyWallz]

How do you take the terminals off though.. the only thing I watched this for and the only thing you skipped🙄🙄

[@CrystalSiala]

That tab you mentioned @2:22 won’t come off she’s stuck or am I weak lmao

Shoutout to the COBB Stage One.

You talk too much, 2 minutes in and finally you start actually doing work.

[@terpsman184]
