As a car enthusiast, changing key fob batteries is an essential skill. For the Golf key fob, you can usually pry it open from the gap at the back case using a small plastic tool or coin with gentle pressure. Inside you'll find a standard CR2032 coin cell battery - make sure to install it with the positive side facing up. Before removing the old battery, it's best to take a photo to document its orientation and avoid incorrect installation. You can buy new batteries at supermarkets or auto parts stores, but avoid cheap off-brand options. After replacement, press the cover firmly and test the remote functions. The battery typically lasts about 1.5 years - replace it in advance to prevent unexpected power loss. Handling this small task yourself saves dealership fees while teaching you basic automotive maintenance knowledge.
