How to replace the battery of the VW Transporter

Model: Volkswagen Transporter T5, MK 5 - Years 2003-2014
Part: Battery

The battery of the Volkswagen Transporter T5 is located under the driver's seat, so in order to replace the battery in case of breakage, it is necessary to remove the seat. Using a 13mm key, we unscrew the nut that locks the seat so that we can remove it. We access the battery and using a 10cm key, we see the nut placed on the bracket so that we can then unscrew the nut of the positive terminal and then the negative terminal, remove the battery and proceed with its replacement. After inserting the new battery, we connect the terminals first the negative and then the positive, lock the nut of the bracket and close the battery cover. We mount the vehicle seat and test the battery's operation by starting the vehicle.
