2 Answers
Imported Volkswagen Touareg key battery replacement method is: 1. Eject the metal mechanical key from the car key; 2. Use a flathead screwdriver to pry open the gap in the middle of the car key; 3. Manually open the key cover; 4. Remove the old battery, place the new battery with the positive side facing up, and then close the key cover. The imported Volkswagen Touareg is a mid-to-large-sized 5-door, 5-seat SUV with body dimensions of: length 4878mm, width 1984mm, height 1717mm, and a wheelbase of 2899mm. It is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine and an 8-speed automatic transmission, delivering a maximum power of 180 kW and a maximum torque of 370 Nm.
I've replaced the battery in my Touareg key fob, a simple DIY job. You'll need a small flathead screwdriver or a plastic pry tool. There's usually a notch on the front of the key fob – gently pry to open the back cover, avoiding excessive force to prevent cracking. Inside, you'll find a coin cell battery, typically a CR2032. Note the positive side (marked on the old battery) faces up when removing it. Install the new battery with the positive side up too; reversing it will disable the key. Snap the cover back on firmly to ensure a proper seal against dust. I recommend buying a few high-quality batteries in advance, like Panasonic or Sony – affordable and long-lasting. The whole process takes about five minutes and saves money. To test, try starting the car or locking the doors. Avoid handling the battery with oily fingers or static electricity to protect the contacts. For smart keys, there might be a small screw to loosen before prying – stay calm and inspect carefully to resolve it.
