Replacing battery - need to re-code?

[irelandbuyer]

Hi lads....

Hope everyone is getting on OK and safe during this crisis......

Wondering if you could help. My battery died yesterday and going today for a replacement, direct from an importer. There's no mechanics allowed work so I can do it myself but i was reading here that it should be re-coded via OBD. (That's prob why Audi were quoting me €450+ to change the battery).

So, is it OK for now do you think that i can change the battery and then get it recoded when we re-open?....

Hobson's choice as I've no car otherwise...just want to make sure i dont blow anything up...

Cheers chaps...
