How to Replace the Battery in a Magotan?

Method for replacing the battery in a Magotan: Prepare tweezers and a new battery, use the tweezers or a blade to pry open the gap on the side, remove the old battery, and install the new one. Below is some relevant information about the Magotan: 1. In terms of the overall vehicle, the new Magotan is more elongated and elegant. During the initial development of Volkswagen's seventh-generation B-class car, the R&D team decided to simultaneously develop a long-wheelbase version of the new Magotan specifically for the Chinese market. Compared to the previous generation Magotan, its wheelbase has increased by 100mm, reaching 2812mm. 2. In terms of powertrain, the new Magotan continues to use Volkswagen's most advanced TSI+DSG golden combination, offering consumers three displacement options: 1.4TSI, 1.8TSI, and 2.0TSI. Additionally, the flagship model will be equipped with a 3.0-V6-FSI engine, elevating the Magotan brand to a new height.

I previously replaced the battery for my Magotan, which was quite simple but required careful attention. First, find a flat spot to park and turn off the engine, then switch off all electrical appliances like the AC and lights. Open the engine hood—the battery is usually located on the front right side as a large black block. When removing it, first loosen the negative terminal screw with a wrench (the black cable connector), making sure it doesn’t touch any metal parts of the car to avoid a short circuit. Next, remove the positive terminal screw and take off the cable. When taking out the old battery, be careful not to drop anything. Install the new battery into the tray, aligning the positive terminal with the positive marking. When reconnecting, attach the positive terminal screw first and tighten it, then secure the negative terminal. Finally, fasten the battery bracket to prevent shaking. Start the car and check if the dashboard displays normally. I recommend brands like Varta for their long lifespan and fair pricing—just double-check the model before buying to avoid size mismatches. Every time I replace it, the car starts much more smoothly. Regular maintenance, like cleaning dust off the battery, helps extend its lifespan.

Replacing the battery for a Magotan requires following a specific sequence. First, ensure the car is turned off and the key is removed to avoid any electrical risks. Locate the battery box under the hood, positioned on the right side. The sequence for disconnecting the cables is: first loosen the screw on the negative cable, then handle the positive cable to ensure safety. After moving the cables aside, release the mounting bracket to remove the old battery, and check that the tray is clean and free of corrosion. Place the new battery in position, aligning it with the positive terminal direction. First, connect the positive terminal screw with the appropriate torque—neither too tight nor too loose—then secure the negative terminal. After fixing all components, start the car to test its operation. It is recommended to choose a battery brand with original specifications, such as Bosch, and protect it with anti-tampering labels. After replacement, drive for a few minutes to allow the vehicle's system to adapt to the new voltage and avoid fault codes.

As a beginner, I replaced the battery for my Magotan myself, and the steps were quite straightforward. After parking and turning off the engine, I opened the hood and saw the battery as a large black block. Be careful during the operation: use a wrench to loosen the screw on the black cable connector first, then disconnect the red cable interface. When removing the old battery, avoid touching the wires, and place the new one in position. Align the red cable connector with the screw and tighten it first, then attach the black cable connector. Secure the battery bracket to ensure it doesn’t wobble. Start the car to check. Don’t forget to wear anti-slip gloves to protect against oil stains during the whole process—the battery is heavy, so don’t drop it and hurt your hands. Just buy a matching model; even a cheaper one will work fine, and the car will start faster after replacement.

Last week, I helped a friend replace the battery in their Magotan, and the whole process went smoothly. After turning off the engine, I opened the hood and found the battery in the right corner. I loosened the screws starting with the negative cable to prevent accidents, then disconnected the positive one. After removing the old battery, I cleaned the battery tray to avoid any debris. The new battery was placed securely, the positive terminal was connected and screws tightened, followed by the negative terminal to ensure good contact. After securing everything, I started the vehicle to confirm everything was working normally and tested the headlights to see if they lit up. My advice is to check the voltage of aging batteries; if it drops below 12 volts, replace it without delay. Regularly inspect the terminals for corrosion to prevent leaks. Doing it yourself saves money and is quite convenient.
