E39mad 862 Report post Posted January 17 About to hook up the CTEK to the 520d. Have found the positive connector but where please is the negative? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oilburner 151 Report post Posted January 17 (edited) Here you go look for a plain metal post just under the bonnet drivers side towards the front, if your ctek charger has a agm battery setting and your vehicles has a agm battery fitted select that setting to charge. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LI4qO8D4KMc Edited January 17 by Oilburner Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

E39mad 862 Report post Posted January 17 Changed the mode to AGM battery and has been on charge for two hours - think it'll need while longer as only gone from 3 to 4 on the scale and needs to get to 7 iirc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yep first time have used it on the F11 - it usually charges up the E36 convertible which gets no use in the winter. 1 marko530d reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
