How do you change the batteries for your Volkswagen Passat 2003?

Answer 1

I assume you mean the large battery used to start the car. Lift hood, remove the firewall neoprene seal on the top edge sealing the hood to the engine compartment, then carefull remove the clips on the plastic cover that is on top of the battery, it runs the full width of the engine compartment. Using a 13mm socket remove the hold down clamp on the left (passenger) side of the battery. remove the negative cable then the positive cable (negative first to prevent shorts) stow them out of the way. Note the plus side orientation. Using a battery lift strap remove the battery from it's battery tray. Installation is the reverse of this process.
