How to Replace the Battery in a Volkswagen Key?
2 Answers
Method for replacing the battery in a Volkswagen key: 1. Open the folding part of the key and gently pry into the middle of the gap with a flathead screwdriver; 2. When a larger gap is opened, hold the keyring below and pull hard to separate the key into upper and lower parts; 3. Forcefully split the side to separate this part of the key into front and back pieces, revealing the battery and circuit board; 4. Remove the old battery and replace it with a new one. The Bora is a compact car under the Volkswagen brand, with dimensions of 4663 mm in length, 1815 mm in width, and 1462 mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2688 mm. In terms of appearance, the car adopts Volkswagen's family-style front face design, with distinctively layered headlights featuring a wing-shaped design for a strong three-dimensional effect. The body lines have become more fluid, and it comes with a newly designed aluminum alloy wheel style.
That time my Volkswagen key fob ran out of battery, I found it quite simple to replace it myself. First, use a fingernail or small tool to gently pry open the casing along the side seam – don't apply too much force to avoid cracking it. After removing the cover, you'll see the small button battery, usually a CR2032 model; make sure to check the specifications when buying a new one to avoid mistakes. Remove the old battery, insert the new one paying attention to alignment (positive side up or follow the internal markings). Gently snap the casing back together until you hear a click indicating it's secured. I recommend searching for video tutorials online beforehand as Volkswagen key fob designs may vary slightly by model year, though most can be handled DIY. If you're nervous about your first attempt, practice on the spare key first. If all else fails, just visit a dealership for professional assistance.
