Model: Volkswagen Multivan T5, MK 2 - Years 2003-2015
Part: Checks and maintenance

In this video, see how to install a voltage meter on the auxiliary battery of a Volkswagen Multivan: this battery is very important as it powers all the electronics, especially if you use the van as a camper, making it very useful. To understand how much voltage is in this battery, it's helpful to insert a small voltmeter. You can easily find this device on Ali-express for a few pounds. You will need to make a small hole in the plastic to insert the device and see it easily. Our YouTuber admits he doesn't want to do all the work to fit it into the dashboard, so he will place it directly on the battery shelf. Start with the black wire, connecting it to the negative terminal; the other end of the wire should be connected with a fork to the device; just know how to use a wire stripper; red on one side and black on the other. Connect the red wire to the positive terminal. Test it, and it works. Drill the plastic to house the device in its final position, and the job is done.
