You can pull the original vent plug with a screw too - 1-2 turns and then pull it out. A painful and curse filled battery change but this was a great help!!!!🎉🎉

Thanks for this, it helped me a lot. I skipped the supplementary charger - thought I’d lose presets, radio, mirror/seat settings, etc…but that’s all intact.

I am in the process of buying the battery from NAPA as well and they list two batteries for the TOUREG. The one you used is the less expensive unit but it does not meet the AH rating and has less CCA so why didnt you select the larger battery wich is the same size as original?

My Napa store listed 5 different batteries for my car. All were guaranteed to fit. I got the second most expensive. It wasn't until I removed the old one that I noticed it was a little smaller. I decided to go with the one I purchased VS exchanging and paying more. Don't forget to ask for a big discount on the battery from Napa. There is big margins on batteries. The one I purchased has been working perfectly

Thank you Gary. I'll file this battery swap information away in case I have to change the battery in my Touareg. I recently purchased a set of triple square sockets just in case. One of the things i am most impressed with is how clean your carpet is. Any secrets that you would like to reveal ?

Thanks for your comments William. Carpet stays clean when you don’t use the car in the winter much. About one month a year and have good mats. Weather Tech.

How’s the new battery holding up ? Any issues with the computer settings

@garysgarage2118 5 ай бұрын

Battery is working perfectly. Because I maintained the power with the charger (power supply mode) the computer and radio etc did not loose memory. The only important is to replace battery in the car and enter the amp hours. That way the alternator strategy will match what the battery needs.

@@garysgarage2118 very helpful vid! I ended taking back that battery though. Got a Duralast that’s the same physical size as the OEM and beefier specs closer to the OEM as well. So far so good!
