2 Answers
Method for disassembling a Volkswagen car key: First eject the mechanical key, then insert a flat-head screwdriver into the horizontal groove in the recess to pry open a larger gap. Next, pull the key ring downward with your hand to separate the key into upper and lower parts. Forcefully split the side to separate the key into front and back pieces, revealing the battery and circuit board components. The Volkswagen Lavida has a body length, width, and height of 4670mm, 1806mm, and 1474mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2688mm. The car features front-engine, front-wheel drive and is equipped with an engine that delivers a maximum power of 110kw at 5000rpm and a maximum torque of 250nm.
As a DIY car enthusiast, I find it quite easy to take apart a Volkswagen car key. There's usually a small groove or gap on the back of the key. You can gently pry it open with a thin tool like a small screwdriver or a card. For flip-style keys, first extend the key blade, then find a flat surface to pry open the cover. Inside, you'll see components like the button battery compartment and circuit board. Most Volkswagen keys use CR2032 batteries - just open the case to replace them, typically needed every 1-2 years. Remember not to use excessive force during the process, as the plastic clips can break easily. If damaged, you'd need to buy a new key shell. I recommend getting a spare key shell from Taobao as backup before attempting this. After doing it once, you'll realize it's actually quite simple and saves you a trip to the repair shop. However, if the key is old or you're uncertain, visiting an auto parts store for quick service might be better to avoid mistakes. Throughout the process, be careful not to lose or drop any components - patience and attention to detail are key.
