Before replacing the battery in the Volkswagen Polo, immobilise the car on a flat surface or on a ramp to work safely and stably. Now, open the front bonnet and remove the electrical connector block connected to the positive terminal of the battery, which is located on the right, at the top of the engine bay. Next, unscrew the negative terminal cable and the bolts securing the battery using the appropriate spanner.
