– Lift out battery -3- from engine compartment at an angle of 45°.
Installing
Install in the reverse order of removal, observing the following:
Caution
A loosely fitted battery creates the following dangers:
♦ Shortened service life caused by vibration damage (dan‐
ger of explosion).
♦ The plates in the battery cells will be damaged if the bat‐
tery is not secured correctly.
♦ Damage to battery casing by clamping bracket (possible
leakage of acid with high consequential costs).
♦ Poor crash safety.
Note
♦ Only install maintenance-free batteries in accordance to spec‐
ifications “TL82506” (as of December 1997) and
“VW75073” (as of August 2001).
♦ Batteries from the replacement parts range feature a base
strip adapter for matching to different retainer flanges.
♦ The ⇒ battery operating instructions give details of when and
how to use the base strip adapter.
Vehicles with start/stop system
Note
♦ Due to higher demands on the deep-cycle resistance, a spe‐
cial battery is used in vehicles equipped with a start/stop
system.
♦ When renewing the battery, note the correct part designation.
♦ Batteries intended for use in vehicles with a start/stop system
are marked “AGM” (Absorbent Glass Mat) or “EFB” (En‐
hanced Flooded Battery).
