Changing the battery on a 2006 BMW 330i?

The battery is located on the right side of the vehicle in the trunk. To view it, remove the right side panel where the factory tools are kept. Simply turn the black knob and pop out the plastic insert. Once you have exposed the battery, you will need a screwdriver and socket wrench to remove the arm bar and the battery terminals. Remove the negative terminal first. If you have navigation, your best bet is to have a certified tech do it for you. The computer has to be reprogramed after installation. After serious consideration, I decided not to replace the battery myself.


How do you remove the battery from a 2007 vw beetle?

How do you remove the battery from a 2007 vw beetle? Need: 10 mm wrench or socket 6 mm hex socket and extension ratchet The battery is located to the far right as you face the engine bay. You need to remove the battery cover. It has several obvious plastic tab latches that you push to release. Remove the cover. You will see a breaker box on top of the battery. This slides out pushing away from you towards the back of the car. Remove the positive and negative battery terminals with a 10 mm socket or wrench. Bungee cord or duct tape the whole collection of breaker box and positive and negative terminal away from you, clear of the top of the battery. You will see that the battery is surrounded and partially covered by a plastic shield. The left front side releases by pushing on obvious plastic tabs to the right. The shield will seem to be stuck in the center back. There is no tab to release here, it is a friction fit (this is the secret!). Pull straight up on the shield and it will release. Voila! You just completed the hard part. Almost there! Center front at the base of the battery is a 6 mm hex bolt holding the battery in. You will need a socket extension and a hex socket to remove this. Once this is removed, slide the battery to the left and tip it up and out.
