I think so, but check with a site which sells batteries by car model. I used the battery you mentioned in 2003 1.9dci which is now gone. These Bosch S5 Batteries are excellent.

Halfords says it should be an "010" type battery, but their prices are CRAZY!
Try eBay instead.. (eBay link removed)
(I've selected the correct make and model of car using their selector system.)

q292u and Shogun,
Bosch S5 and Varta Silver have a special profile of the electrodes, which make them less likely to fall apart under high load and wear conditions. In my opinion, these are better value for money in a long run.

When considering a battery replacement for a 1.5 DCI 86 2007 car, it's crucial to choose the right size and type to ensure optimal performance. The Bosch 096 S5 battery is known for its high starting power and reliability, making it a popular choice for many vehicles. However, always double-check the dimensions and specifications to ensure it fit your car's battery compartment properly. On a related note, if you're thinking about the dyson corrale battery replacement, remember that using genuine parts is essential for maintaining the device's efficiency and longevity. Whether it's for your car or your Dyson Corrale, choosing the right battery replacement is key to keeping everything running smoothly.
