How to Replace the Battery in a Volkswagen Lavida Key?
2 Answers
Method for replacing the battery in a Volkswagen Lavida key: There are two screws on the back cover of the car key. Use a screwdriver to remove each screw, then open the back cover to reveal the battery panel. Remove the old battery and install the new one. Reattach the back cover and tighten the screws. Driving the Volkswagen New Lavida: 1. Body dimensions of the Volkswagen New Lavida: The Lavida comes in sedan and hatchback versions. The sedan version measures 4670 mm in length, 1806 mm in width, and 1474 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2688 mm. The hatchback version measures 4541 mm in length, 1806 mm in width, and 1488 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2688 mm. 2. The Volkswagen New Lavida is a compact car under the Volkswagen brand, equipped with three engines: a 1.2-liter turbocharged engine, a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine, and a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine.
I also encountered the issue of a dead key fob battery for my Lavida last year. It's quite simple to replace it yourself. Just find a small flat-head screwdriver or a thin piece of plastic, gently pry open the key fob shell—be careful not to use too much force to avoid breaking the clips. Once opened, you'll see the coin cell battery inside, usually a CR2032 model. When removing the old battery, be cautious not to damage the circuit board contacts. Align the new battery correctly with the positive and negative sides, then close the shell and press firmly to test if the buttons work. The whole process takes about 5 minutes, saving you dozens of dollars by avoiding a trip to the shop. You can buy better-brand batteries like Panasonic CR2032 from supermarkets or online, which last over a year. If the key remote works intermittently, it's a signal to replace the battery—don't delay too long to avoid being unable to unlock the car when you're out.
