Battery Replacement on Volkswagen Passat

Model: Volkswagen Passat B7 - Years 2010-2014
Part: Battery

With the engine off and the handbrake engaged, lift the bonnet and secure it. Open the battery cover and remove the two 10 mm bolts as shown in the video (remember to disconnect the negative terminal first, followed by the positive for safety reasons). Remove the battery cover and unscrew the rear battery bolt, which is 13 mm and secures the battery in place. Once this bolt and the small bracket attached to it are removed, you can extract the battery. Reverse the process for reassembly.
