BMW 3 Series Battery Replacement

Model: BMW Serie 3 E91, E90, E92 - Years 2005-2013
Part: Battery

Open the trunk and look to your right, where the battery compartment is located. As shown in the video, remove the lower frame and detach the side one to take it out. At this point, you will notice a plastic cover that was previously hidden: detach this and remove it. Voila! Here is the battery! Using a 10 mm socket wrench, unbolt the double curved bracket that holds the battery in place. Unbolt and then disconnect the negative terminal (toward the rear of the trunk, so to your right), then the positive terminal, also with the 10 mm wrench. Remove the battery.

How to Reset the Central Locking of the Volkswagen Golf 4?

If the central locking system of the Volkswagen Golf 4 is not working, it is likely necessary to reset the system: to do this, open the driver's door and detach the side panel of the dashboard next to the steering wheel. Under this panel, you will find the fuses, including the one for the central locking, which is indicated in the manual as number 14. To reset the system, remove this fuse from its housing, then reinsert it or replace it with a new one of the same amperage: this will reset the central locking system.
