Batteries with central gas venting
Batteries with two different styles of central gas venting are installed:
- Batteries with central gas vent hose
- Batteries without central gas vent hose
CAUTION:
- Only new generation batteries with central gas venting are to be installed!
- For proper function of central venting and flame trap, check vent hose (where applicable) for proper installation. Vent hose must NOT be disconnected or pinched.
- Only the use of genuine VW battery cell caps ensures the different battery cover systems are sealed correctly.
- Only use genuine VW cell caps of the same construction if lost or damaged.
- Caps must be fitted with an O-ring seal.
