2 Answers
The steps to disassemble a Volkswagen Lavida key are: 1. Press the round button on the side of the key to remove the mechanical key; 2. Insert a tool into the gap at the top of the key and pry open the back cover; 3. Push the battery to one side to remove and replace it. The body dimensions of the Volkswagen Lavida are: length 4670mm, width 1806mm, height 1474mm, wheelbase 2688mm, and fuel tank capacity 51 liters. The Volkswagen Lavida is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 110kW, maximum power speed of 5000rpm, and maximum torque of 250Nm.
As a DIY enthusiast car owner, the process of disassembling a Volkswagen Lavida key is actually quite interesting. The key is usually foldable, with a small gap on the back cover. You can gently pry it open using a thin plastic pry tool or a small screwdriver, but avoid using too much force to prevent breaking the clips. Once opened, you can see the internal structure, and the battery is typically a small CR2032 coin cell. When removing the battery, use plastic tweezers to avoid damaging the circuit board with static electricity, then replace it with a new genuine battery. During reassembly, align the cover and press it back gently until you hear a 'click' sound, indicating it's properly seated. The first time I did this, I didn’t align the cover correctly and had to spend some time adjusting. Later, I learned my lesson and bought professional tools online for just a few bucks. Always work on a well-lit tabletop to prevent losing small parts. After replacing the battery, the key’s start function worked normally, saving me a trip to the repair shop while also giving me hands-on experience and learning something new. I recommend watching video tutorials before attempting it to minimize mistakes.
