| How do I change the battery in a 2002 Audi A4? |

I have a 2002 Audi A4. I can see the battery and it seems easy to remove both of the cables. However, there is a plastic bar covering the battery, making the battery difficult or impossible to remove. The plastic bar is connected to the surrounding mount. I cannot figure out how to open this plastic bar. Any ideas?
Thank you.

You have to unbolt the bar and move it outta the way

Use a 6mm ball end allen wrench… not the one you get in your tool kit but a specialized tool that’s quite a bit longer. 8″+ Check your local hardware store. Of course this is assuming you’re talking about the B6 chassis. 2002 is a split year and certain B5 models are designated as year 2002. I think you’re talking about the B6 though.
Also note: The batteries in these cars are somewhat oddly shaped… often times the battery you get at your neighborhood auto parts store won’t fit underneath the tie-down or even underneath the battery cover. Be sure to measure the new battery and make sure it will fit before you buy it. Don’t drive without the battery secured properly with the tie-down. Good luck!
