To replace the battery in the key fob of a Volkswagen Touareg, take the key and press the button to extract the emergency metal key. With the key removed, locate the slot on the side of the fob and insert the tip of the key or a small screwdriver to pry open the fob shell.

Once the shell is separated, locate the battery inside the compartment.

Remove the old battery and insert a new one of the same type, ensuring the correct polarity. Then, close the two halves of the fob until they click and reinsert the metal key into its slot.

Press a button on the fob to check that the system functions correctly.

AdBlue Tank Fault on Peugeot 2008

If the instrument cluster of your Peugeot 2008 sends an alarming signal as seen in the video, despite having just filled the AdBlue tank, the problem is not that the tank needs replacing - as authorised workshops simplistically suggest - at a cost of around £1,000. The first thing to do is to remember not to wait for the system to remind you that you are low on AdBlue, but to refill it every 5,000 to 6,000 miles, as the fault lies in the measurement of the tank level. Another good practice is to add an additive (yes, an additive in the additive) such as Tunap 988 (£23.99 on Amazon, with free delivery) which will prevent the AdBlue from crystallising.
