Just fitting a new battery, and what a fight that is.
Anyway, there is no tray as such and the battery is hard on the A/C pipes running underneath.
Is this correct?
The car has always been main agent serviced and I would guess it's the original battery.
Car is a S-line Quattro Avant auto.
Thanks

I had an advisory on my MOT for not having a battery strap, it's that tight I reckon if I rolled the car it won't fall out lol

It doesn't have a strap, just a clamp at the bottom that you can't see without stripping away all the plumbing & wiring!
