How to perform maintenance on a Volkswagen Polo? This video explains how to replace the battery located in the engine bay: open the car door and pull up the engine bay release lever located at the bottom left of the dashboard and lift the front bonnet, releasing the locking lever with your fingers, then secure it. Once the engine bay is open, you will find the battery on the right; remove the securing bolts of the battery terminals (after removing the plastic cover), then take it out of the engine bay and replace it with a new one (same voltage).

Close the bonnet after maintenance.
