it's very helpful and very systematic way of showing the progress. Thanks a lot. I just changed the battery in VW touran within 10 to 20 minutes and it's first time in my life. Great help.
I have just used an extra solution on top of my plus (+) node as ATU suggests.

VW makes everything hard, surprised I don’t have to drop the engine to do this.
Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your opinion!
hard? lolz
Very helpful. Bless your heart
Hi - Thanks for watching!
I did in fact tap a wee bit to get those terminal connections seated.. otherwise it just looked ridiculous 😁😬🙏🤣
Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your experience!
So weird the red cable goes on the negative and the black cable on positive.
Hi - Thanks for watching! That's why it's important to follow the manufacturer's instructions found in the service/repair manuals when working on modern automobiles.
My 2018 Jetta is in the dealership now cause I installed the battery wrong thinking the red cable was positive now my car won’t start. I’m hoping I just blew a fuse if not I’m screwed
What is this battery memory saver?
Hi - Thanks for watching! Check out our video on Memory Saving. The link in this video's description.
Ive successfully changed my battery in the vw cc sport yet the battery light remains on.
It is your alternator that is the issue.
Didn't you have to code the battery to the car????
Hi - Thanks for watching! Many late model vehicles have to have the replacement battery "coded" or registered with the vehicle's battery management system. Check out our videos on how to do this. The links are in this video's description.
What if we don’t have a memory saver?
@@TheBatteryShop how about for 2012 vw cc. Do I need memory saver dont have manual
The memory is never lost, change it directly, remove this battery, and place a new battery, attach the cables. Simple as that. I did on my TOURAN 2011.
@@TheBatteryShop What are all the "other" computer memories? Will I be fine if I leave the battery disconnected over the winter months?
Forgot to clean the cable clamps…they both had crud on them
Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your observation!
It's easy to replace battery
Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your experience!
What is the name of the Tool used to unscrew the bolt in the battery holder?
is it an extender?
Hi - Thanks for watching! We used a ratchet wrench, an extension and a13mm deep socket.
@phyllisladson6575 you are joking? If not it is best to be safe and take it to a certified tech to have it switched out.
do you need to registry the battery?
Hi - Thanks for watching! Some late model vehicles do require that the replacement battery be registered with the vehicle's battery control system. We recommend that you check with a service/repair manual for your vehicle to be sure.
My car battery is not located under the hood and i can't find the damn thing anywhere. I have passat B8 2015 bluemotion. I checked the trunk, under the trunk cover, on the sides in the trunk, under the passenger seat, under the drivers seat and i can't find the damn thing 🤷♂️
Hi - Thanks for watching! You can find the battery location in the vehicle owner's manual.
It's probably hidden with a plastic cover like mine. It should be in the same place as this video. Also, getting the clamp and the bolt in place again with the cover is insanely hard.
Excellent explanation, but with my car when i ve changed battery during the plug it was doing some sparks . Why this happens? Can it damage the ECU?
@@TheBatteryShop some small sparks were been occuring when i was pluging the battery from the +
@@TheBatteryShop thanks a lot for your help :)
@@TheBatteryShop Sorry, I strongly disagree with your explanation. The reason for disconnecting negative first and connecting it last is because from the positive pole you may accidentaly touch with the tightening key, any metal part of the car, creating a short circuit. Sparks are occuring no matter which pole is connected first and that is because the capacitors inside the car electronics are charging and draining higher current for a very short time. There is nothing to worry about, @Alexis5897. But modern cars need a "programming"of the ECU after battery was swapped, so, best is to go at a car service point.
👍👍👍👍
Hi - Thanks for watching!
That's half of the job, you have to code the battery to ecu
No. At least I didn't have to.
