In today's video, see how to replace the remote battery of the Volkswagen Polo. This guide also applies to many other models from the Volkswagen group (including Audi, Seat, and Skoda), as they use the same device. Start by opening the upper plastic cover, carefully unfastening it. Once done, proceed to remove the upper cover to access the battery compartment.

Replace it with a battery of the same type and, before refitting the casing, check if it works correctly. If all is well, you can then reassemble everything.
