How to Disassemble a Volkswagen Bora Car Key?
2 Answers
Method to disassemble a Volkswagen Bora car key: Use a flat-head screwdriver to pry open a small gap from the side of the key. Then, continue prying along the gap. Insert your fingernail into the middle gap of the remote control and gently squeeze while applying slight outward force to separate it. The Volkswagen Bora is a compact car under the Volkswagen brand. The dimensions of the Volkswagen Bora are 4663mm in length, 1815mm in width, and 1473mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2688mm. The Volkswagen Bora is equipped with two engines: a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine and a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine.
I often disassemble my Volkswagen Bora's car key myself, mainly to replace the battery or clean the contacts. The key design is quite clever—there's a small slit in the folding part where you can gently insert a coin or a small flathead screwdriver. A slight twist will separate it. Remember not to use too much force to avoid damaging the plastic casing or breaking the clips. Once split in half, you'll see a small battery compartment for the common CR2032 coin cell. Just take out the old one and replace it with a new one, making sure not to reverse the polarity. When reassembling, align the edges and press firmly until you hear a click. This saves money, is convenient, and prevents remote failure. Every time I finish, the key feels more responsive, like new. I recommend doing this on a soft surface to prevent small parts from flying away, and wash your hands to keep them dry before handling—static electricity can be a real nuisance.
