Replacing the battery on a Skoda Octavia 2 is very simple; let's see how to proceed in this tutorial. First, ensure that the key is not inserted, then lift the bonnet and open the battery compartment. Using a 10mm spanner, loosen the nuts on both terminals and disconnect them. Next, unscrew the bolt of the lower bracket with a 13mm spanner. At this point, you can remove the battery and, if necessary, to clean the compartment, remove the plastic cover by unlocking the relevant clips.
