I followed these instructions carefully yesterday as I replaced the battery on my '13 TDI T-Reg. The video was incredibly helpful; the only thing it didn't mention was the effort required to remove the battery's cover. That was not fun! All in all I was in there, under the tilted back front seat for about 4 hours, going from "this is a pain in the butt" to "What the fork was going through their mind when they designed this??" THANK YOU for the video - of all the ones I have seen, This one is the best of them.
You may have to use a high level scan tool to clear the airbag codes… if any airbag wires were unplugged when the battery was connected this could cause a “no response” code, however once cleared the code with not set again assuming the wiring is intact with no opens in the circuit
I just did mine and my seat is stuck it won’t move back no more than half ways. And I don’t know how to get it to work right. It was working fine before the removal of the battery. Any idea what if maybe. Thanks
Yes the battery is still good, it’s an AGM battery, you can go onto interstate battery website and it will give you the proper battery group size along with the proper CCA rating
its likely the BCM/ equivalent retains a certain amount of power for some systems and disables others...so whilst the battery appears ok in one way , its actually unable to give some systems the desired power IE transmission

Still working the autozone battery? How many Ah was the autozone battery?

What do you do if the battery is dead and you can't move the seat forward or backward?
