Battery check and/or replacement for the FJ
Posted: Tue Jan 13, 2015 2:40 pm
Dear gurus of the car care world, happy new year first!
FJ does not want to start from time to time, and when it does it takes a bit more than usual. Happened to me a month ago, and now has increased after the holiday break, and I am getting tired of jump starting every morning Car model is 2012 with the original battery, so about 3 years life...
If problem persist i would like to:
1) Get it checked: where? (dealer, adnoc) ...or can I do it myself (no specific battery tools except multimeter... )
2) If replacement is needed, I wish to stay with stock (unless the contrary is advised) and same question, where to get it? is dealer the recommended option or they charge an unjustified premium like for tyres...
3) car is under warranty, but my understanding is that battery is something a part, can anyone confirm?
Waiting for your inputs, and thanks in advance!
PS: I have tried on the phone with Toyota, but as you can imagine AD4x4 advise is the only one that I take
