Volkswagen Golf Battery Replacement – The Battery Shop

Volkswagen Golf Battery Replacement – The Battery Shop

The 12 volt battery in this 2013 VW Golf is conveniently located under the hood. Although this video may provide you with the basic procedures, we recommend that you check with the vehicle manufacture’s step by step procedures found in service/repair manuals for the vehicle you are working on.

The use of a memory saving procedure will keep the vehicle’s computers memory’s alive during the battery replacement procedure. Refering to our Memory Saving video will provide you with various memory saving procedures that can be used according to vehicle manufacturer’s requirements. https://youtu.be/vSP3ShcaFgQ

Some late model vehicles must have the 12 volt battery registered with the vehicle’s Battery Control Module or Computer after replacement. See these videos on Battery registration and coding for more details on the procedures at https://youtu.be/TGKohKZHzr0 & https://youtu.be/cxOK_DczRGg

Always wear safety glasses and gloves when working with or near batteries.

This flipping video caused more questions to be asked than were answered. I mean REALLY guys if you're going to say connect jumper cables then at least explain WHY and WHERE FFS. With the whole issue of coding explain that as well. No doubt anyone watching this video who has never changed a battery in their life is scratching their heads. Piss poor video….really piss poor video.

tasmedic says:

What a lovely vibe to your video! I especially loved the music. It must be very relaxing to work in your shop!
Thanks for making the process so clear and simple to understand.

Karl Juice says:

The vehicle you worked on would of had stop start using BEM,you fitted a new battery without coding it so the system will still think the old battery is fitted?

Dung Doan says:

We install in new battery and now the power stirring doesn’t work and All the dash lights are on?

Hi guys, i have 2012 Volkswagon Golf 2.5liter 4 door and recently had a dead battery. I brought it to O reillys and they told me the battery replacement can only be done by an autocare professional because it apparentlt needs to be registered with a scan tool. Is this true for my car? I went to two local autocares and both tried to charge me $120 to 200 (Donco vs NAPA legend) for the battery AND 120 to 150 for the labor. Did I just get scammed? I had toyota before this and i never had to pay more than 130 for any battery replacements.

Thanks for the video,I got one question : Can I change a start&stop battery this way without requiring coding for new batter? Assuming I use one with the same specs and keep tension on the car,the ECU shouldn't be able to tell that the battery was changed. Is is safe?

John Makuch says:

Is there any reason that the "host battery" cannot be the battery in another car?

ebels3 says:

Where can I buy a another varta battery in the US? I have done extensive research, but nobody seems to have them anymore. Even the dealers switched to exide batteries. I can't find Bosch, which is allegedly the same battery with different labels, either. My original battery finally died after 9 years, and only due to neglect. The car was in storage for a year and a half without any battery management.

Oskar G.G. says:

and where are the jumper cables connected?

Oskar G.G. says:

ese cable de puente lo conectas a algo?

mohamed Alaoui says:

Is it AGM Battery?

MauriceNL says:

Replacing the battery in my VW Caddy soon, it's empty after sitting 2 days. Original battery from 2006 is still in it and only died in 2020

BleTrick says:

Where can I buy a battery and how much does one cost?

Jaison Rosslee says:

I have the exact vehicle. What size of battery is that? In terms of amperage
