I need to replace the battery on my 2.0l TSI petrol Kodiaq. Having removed the battery leads, it's obvious that the battery is fastened in securely. The only obvious bolt, is the one just in front of the battery, but it doesn't appear to be attached to a clamp. I would like to know if this bolt secures a hidden clamp, before I slacken it off. Please can someone tell how the battery is secured in place?

Hi,

If this is like on Superb Mk3 (and several other VAG models). This bolt goes thru a clamp, but there's no hidden nut that you may lose, once you've removed the bolt. The nut is somehow welded to the the mounting plate.

There's no other clamp.

But once again, IF like on Superb Mk3.

Bap33, I watched a video about changing the battery on a Superb and it showed the bracket. I can't see a bracket on my Kodiaq. I can only see a bolt which is in the metal, in front of the battery. The bolt is sprayed silver like the car. I going to remove the black insulation sleeve from around the battery.
