How to Change the Battery in the Volkswagen Golf 6 Key

Model: Volkswagen Golf MK 6, Golf VI, Golf 6, 5K1 - Years 2008-2012
Part: Key

Although the video author focuses specifically on the key fob of the Volkswagen Golf 6, the same procedure applies to all key fobs with similar characteristics and, with minor adjustments, even those that are not identical but very similar in structure. First, extend the mechanical blade of the key outwards, then open the cover that hides the battery of the key fob. If needed, use a small screwdriver to assist. At this point, simply remove the exhausted battery and insert a new one with the same specifications.

How to Remove the Front Bumper of the Citroën C4 Picasso?

To remove the front bumper of the Citroën C4 Picasso, you need to take out all the rivets and screws that secure the piece to its housing: these screws are located inside the wheel arches of the front wheels and at the central upper part of the bumper itself. Once all these fastening elements have been removed, you can detach the bumper from its seat by disconnecting the connectors inside and then insert the new replacement part.
