- Changing the battery on your Audi TT is very simple- and only requires a couple of basic tools. It's relatively safe as long as you follow the basic instructions i set out in this video - we don't want an sparks now do we?!

Had to charge battery recently. Now I know that I have to reinstall it. Didn't knew there a notch to hold battery. Thanks for the video, really informative
I wish I knew about how the top fuse box unclipped before I attempted to change my battery….. I managed to break my battery cage.
Top upload!!!

Bryn,
Could you please do video about parasitic battery drain?
Cheers
I second that! 👍🏼
Would like to see this too
Thanks Bryn brilliant video, just what I was looking for! Very true, don't pay Halfolds £12 or whatever it costs to do such a simple job. My TT I've just bought want start if I leave it for a week without driving. I thought it would be fine up to two weeks on the odd occasion so I might check if my TT is leaking any current while the car isn't driving.
Not as simple as it may seem. Here is my tale of woe. First, be careful with your sockets. I dropped my 10mm socket into the bottomless pit otherwise known as the engine bay. Never to be seen again. Now I know where 10mm sockets go when they want to retire. Second, be careful where you leave your replacement battery. I left mine on top of a trolley bin, where it stayed for a full minute. Then it slowly slid off, and landed on the concrete with a dull thud. The battery casing was cracked, evidenced by weepage of battery electrolyte. Then it was back to the battery shop to buy a second battery, on the same day. In retrospect, it would have been far cheaper to pay the battery shop a modest fee to install it for me.
That’s made me chuckle 😂
Keep the videos coming please.
Very useful 👍🏼
Had a similar problem when I bought my 3.2 a year ago. Took it out for a drive for an hour or so, so battery had a good charge. When I got back, a neighbour told me that his BMW (2.0 litre) had a flat battery so I jump started his car, parked up and left the car with all systems switched off. The following day.....non start ! When I checked the battery it was a little lower than recommended, but more worrying was physically smaller than standard and slid around the compartment. A quick trip to Halfords and a higher capacity perfect fit battery was installed (by me). Probably could have bought cheaper online, but the Halfords ones are sold fully charged so just fit and go. Not a fan of the boot mount as no spare wheel, but seems easier to change than the bonnet mounted ones.
Great video Bryn, one caveat though: Please don’t tap the battery posts too heavily as they have been known to dislodge internally. Better to open the clamp with a lever then push the terminal down further by hand. Hope you don’t mind me saying it, but I once had this problem. Keep the videos coming, it’s great to see a dedicated Chanel for the TT.
I dont mind you mentioning it at all! I sometimes forget to mention things that are just habit for me- like only giving it a gentle tap
Nice vid, will no doubt need this in the future
Very helpful, thanks Bryn!
I never knew about the clamp when swapping over I'll need to have a look at that don't won't it wobbling all over the place thanks for that Bryn great video
2004 red tt ♥️ I'm single and this will help me with my baby. Reno
Great Video Bryn,😉👍informative & interesting as usual Thanks 😊 👍
Useful and helpful Bryn 👍
Thanks for vid bryn.
i had a new battery installed at local VW dealer about a decade ago… no problems… $170 out the door.
Yuasa are very good batteries as for Bosch there actually made by varta
Good stuff! I am trying to the plastic case open without breaking, any tips? The piece under the fuse box is attached in the front, not seeing a way to get it apart.
Hi there
I have a Audi TT 8J,TFSI gasoline 2l BWA motor,147 kW, 200hp,2008 manufactured and I want to replace the start Battery !
Can you please advise me which is like original on market?
Thanks
Hi - bit of a novice here. Need a new battery for our 2002 Roadster. I'm reading about things like BEM, needing recoding, and power window cycling? Are these all things which need attention on a MK1? Thanks
For some reason, I thought you'd have to do all sorts of tricks after a battery swap to re-enable some electronics, e.g. auto windows etc
Yes, that's quite unusual for the TT as normally even the simplest job is much more long-winded and frustrating than it needs to be.
You need to reset the key fob.
My battery keeps draining. Went thru 3 batteries. It' sat for a while on all occasions. Is that the cause?
Hi bryn very useful video m8 would of liked to see you find bad earth though I think I’ve got a bad earth problem with my 3.2v6 I get a interference noise through my speakers even when the radio is of thought this was the Bose amplifier so went to change this out and it turns out that I don’t even have the Bose in mine 😂 so do you think this could be a bad earth if so where would I look cheers m8👍
The bolt that holds the battery clamp at the bottom seems to be seized. To remove , do you turn clockwise or counter clockwise ? Also tried using WD 40 , but didnt work
Awesome video! I’m wanting to swap the battery on my 2000 TT Quattro but shopping for one is confusing. What am I looking for or would you recommend one for me? Live in the states. Cheers!
Just loosen the securing clamp and slide it forwards, no need to remove it.
Hey man watched a lot of your videos i bought a 225 recently the man i bought it from had the transmission clutch replaced then told me after a while the haldex system stopped working so the car is only fwd what might be the cause? Tried burnouts haha didnt activate it i saw your video with the haldex controller impossible to find online before i start throwing money to the car mybe you the expert can give me some insight! Would really appreciated !
Bryn, do the rear boot battery models need an AGM type?
Hi mate i have an issue with I believe to be my steering rack. I dont suppose I could contact you for help? Thank you
I’ve done that and lost my radio code took the radio out and the code is not on it would you recommend
Don't you need to register the battery?
Bloody 13mm seized and on an awkward angle for a socket set and extender
Woah woah woah woah woah....
The climate control can read the battery voltage???
Follow up question, how easy is it to find/replace the tiny digital information screen that sits between your gauges?
