  • Battery location for r32?

    Hope this is not a stupid question...but i can't seem to locate the battery in the manual or visibly in the engine bay?

    All i can find is the +ve anchor point...

        The manual which lives in your glovebox is a useful source of all types of information like this! Well worth the read.

          In the boot and underneath everything, you have to remove all the fittings for the tools, etc and then its located under a plate, you will see the wiring for it though.

            The OP stated that "i can't seem to locate the battery in the manual" ... so I assume it was checked first!

                  yeah...call me sad but it was the first thing i did when i got the car and not actually taking it for a big spin.

                  The main manual stated all engine types but not the vr6...the r32 addendum didn't state anything about the battery...maybe i missed it.

                  Thanks all for helping me out!!!

                    Don't feel bad - I was looking at a Porsche Boxter today and I couldn't find the engine!

                        I thought that too - I opened the boot and there was more storage compartment.

                        I started trying to lift carpet panels when a security guard asked me to stop...

                        I'm sure it was in there somewhere!
