How to Replace the Battery in a Magotan?
2 Answers
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.
