    removing battery for how long?stupid pugs have been known to lose coding and may need programming,i hate clutches lol
    negative - removed first then + for removing battery then the bolt that secures battery.

    new battery bolt for securing battery first,+ connection then - connection and make sure you dont have keys in car as some cars lock when connecting back up and alarm is on/switch to off if needed.

    You can't just pull the battery from a multiplexed PSA car, you have to wait for the BSI to go into sleep mode. Put down the drivers window, take out the key and leave it outside of the car. Open the bonnet, close all the doors (but don't lock them), and go inside for a mug of tea. It takes 2-5 minutes for the BSI to turn off, depending on the model. If you didn't go inside for your tea, you'll hear a loud relay click when the BSI has shut off. Then it's safe to unclip the two battery leads (being French, they won't have bolts on the terminals, just quick release clips), and release the battery. To reinstall, connect the two battery leads, then reach in through the open driver's window (you left it open right?) and switch on the sidelights. If everything has gone well, you'll hear a beep.

    Any of the other posted techniques will result in an electrical fault, ranging from immobiliser fault to an electric window not working, until the proper procedure is carried out. PSA cars don't have any "coding" since they became multiplexed ~15 years ago, not even the radio. If you do the proper procedure above, you can leave the car indefinitely without a battery and it will be 100% when reconnected. It is a computer, you wouldn't pull the plug on your PC without shutting down and expect it to reboot fine every time?
