Video tutorial

In this video, we see a problem that commonly occurs on the Volkswagen Jetta, namely the fuses mounted on the positive terminal of the battery, which tend to melt. The YouTuber removed the support where these sit and clearly shows how the first one has melted, damaging the plastic of the box. He removed the battery and the metal plate supporting it. He also removed the alternator cable, replacing it entirely with a sturdier one onto which he transferred all the connections, then cleaned all the contacts thoroughly and finally repositioned the battery and fitted the new box that he sourced from AliExpress with code 1005002997234485 for £12.69, with free delivery.
