In today's video, see how to replace the battery in a Volkswagen Polo 6 1.0 TSI, a model produced from 2009 to 2017. So, let's start the operation by opening the front bonnet of the vehicle and securing it with the appropriate prop. Next, using a 13mm spanner, remove the nut from the battery retaining plate and then take out the battery.

Once done, using a 10mm spanner, disconnect the negative terminal first, followed by the positive terminal, then remove the battery cover by disconnecting its cable with a 13mm spanner as shown in the video, and finally remove the battery itself to replace it with a new one, reassembling everything by following the reverse procedure.
