KIA venga / i30 Battery change

Its not your average car battery change , the engine bay is smaller with the battery tucked into the corner. This requires some extra work and attention, dismantling around the battery to remove it … hope this helps you understand what to do with your own car … in the title the kia venga is a mirror for the Hyundai i30 so for yous who have that model this should help too. thanks

Thanks for sharing this. Very much appreciated. I've volunteered myself to do this job in the morning for a neighbour.

Thanks very much - I'd never have found those bolts otherwise. I hoped I could just loosen them but that was not enough to get the battery out. It's not so easy getting the bolts back when you can't see and only just get your hands in.

Thanks for this - mine was slightly different and only had a single ECM connection but with your help I managed to sort it (despite being hampered by my socket set only having 11mm and 13mm so I had to use 1/2")

Thank you! Wouldn't have found the bolts without this vid!

F***ing saved my day! There was no way I was finding those two little buggers on my own!

Thank you for the video but you dont need to unscrew the bolts fully to change the battery.

whoever came up with this way of mounting this battery must have had a hard time in the head

Fiendish bolt placement. Had me baffled 🤬
