MK1G60R1 0 Posted November 30, 2005 Has anyone fitted an Exide into their VR6? The posts are at the wrong end, can these be moved as there are holes at the 'right' end! Otherwise I will need to extend the wiring loom to fit. Has anyone done this? Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bobby 0 Posted December 2, 2005 i know i doesn't help with your question but i have had exide deep cycle batteries in all my cars and never had a flat battery once in 7 years. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MK1G60R1 0 Posted December 2, 2005 "Bobby" Yeah they are really good, got one in my MK1 and just charge it before I wana use it and its as good as new!!! One more time; Heeeeeeeeelp!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rixy 0 Posted December 12, 2005 i got the same problem, i had this battery in may last car, a mk3 golf, and it fitted fine, but as you say, in the raddo, the terminals are at the wrong end of the battery! Mines a deep cycle gel jobby, really want it in there, might just stick it in my boot and run a split charger or summit? or failing that, just simply extend the loom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MK1G60R1 0 Posted December 12, 2005 Yeah think i'm gona extend the loom too, shouldn't be too hard but want to fit some decent wiring in there! The grounding point on the chassis is probably going to be the hardest part... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ben16v 0 Posted December 12, 2005 rixy, stupid question, but cant you just turn it around?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rixy 0 Posted December 13, 2005 you can yes, but if you turn it around, the loom is even shorter, as the + and - terminals are then on the wrong side of the battery instead of too far away, i.e, moved from left to right hand side and vice versa! Not a stupid question, tis prob what i'd have thought if i'd read this! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
