Today we will explain how to replace the battery of a Volkswagen Golf 4 car key. To remove the battery, we need to insert a small flat-head screwdriver into the small compartment located in the central part of the key, just below the logo; by applying slight pressure, it will be possible to remove the lower part from the remote control.

We then insert the screwdriver into the bottom part of the remote control and open it to remove the battery and proceed with the replacement.

After replacing the battery, we close the remote control, assemble the lower part, and test its functionality.
