Let's see how to replace the negative cable that has broken on the battery of a Volkswagen Lupo: we will need the cables, which we can find on Amazon with the code B0B93XFC2M at a price of 28.76 euros, free delivery for Prime customers. We can find the clamps on E-Bay with the code 204525310179 at a price of 5.50 euros + 4.00 euros for shipping costs.

The replacement is simple: we remove the old cable, cut the new cable to the correct length, insert the cable into the terminal and tighten it well; we check the hole and, if necessary, widen it with a drill. We mount the new cable and tighten it well.

Before starting the work, disconnect the other pole. Clean the contacts well and check the grounding.
