To replace the battery of the Audi A1, we open the hood of the engine compartment and we will find the accumulator on the driver's side near the front under a cover. Lift it and unscrew the bolt that tightens the clamp of the negative pole, remove it and move it sideways, repeat the same operation with the clamp of the positive pole.

With a socket wrench equipped with an extension, unscrew the bolt that locks the bracket to the base of the battery, remove it and remove the battery from its seat. Clean the housing and insert the new battery, secure the bracket to the base and put the clamps back on the respective terminals starting from the positive one.
