Part: Key
Operation: Replacing the battery of a Volkswagen Polo key

Is the remote control key battery dead? Let's see the replacement of the battery inside the key of a Polo. We press the release button of the metal key. Once the metal key has come out, we go with the help of a screwdriver to pry between the plastic of the back cover of the cover (in the space where the metal key goes to house). We pry until the cover opens. We extract the empty battery with a small screwdriver, let's take a new one of the same size and voltage. We insert the new battery into the key cover. We press the rear cover plastic on the remote control.

How to open the bonnet of the Volkswagen Polo

Let's see in this short and simple guide the instructions that will allow us to open the bonnet of the Volkswagen Polo. First of all we open the front door, on the driver's side, and start pulling the opening lever of the engine hood, in order to open the lock; then let's move to the front of the vehicle and unhook the tab that we find on the central part, above the manufacturer's emblem, as shown in the video. At this point we block the bonnet with the lateral rod; then we accompany the bonnet down to close it again!
