Operation: How to replace the batteries of the remote control of the Volkswagen Polo

To replace the batteries of the Volkswagen Polo remote control, let's start by inserting a small screwdriver in the slot at the top where there is the emblem of the house, levering it off the key; once the key has been removed, use the same slotted screwdriver to pry the side slots to open the remote control; open the remote control, remove the upper battery with the small screwdriver, remove the plate and remove the second battery with the same small screwdriver; Once the batteries have been removed, take the new batteries (code CR2016) and insert them in the same way as the previous batteries, placing the plate between the two batteries; insert the batteries, attach the two parts of the remote control and reinsert the key. Finally we can test the functioning of the new batteries.

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!
