Where is the battery in my 2008 VW Eos? 6

It sounds very much like there's an electrical problem with the trunk, top, and lock on your 2007 VW Eos. The following advice may be used to identify the issue and maybe resolve it:

1. Examine the fuses: Start by looking for any blown fuses connected to the lock system, top, or trunk in the fuse box. A schematic indicating which fuses are in charge of these operations should be included in the owner's manual. If any fuses break, replace them with the appropriate amperage-rated fuses.
2. Examine the microswitch and trunk latch: There is a chance that the microswitch, which determines whether the trunk is closed, is broken or the latch itself is defective. If the interior light turns on, that means the switch is functioning. Try physically pushing down on the trunk lid. If not, you may need to have the microswitch or trunk latch replaced.
3. Test the key fob: If you have a spare key fob, use it to see if the issue still exists even after you changed the battery. This may disqualify the key fob as the actual culprit.
4. Inspect the convenience module: This electrical brain regulates and operates lighting, windows, locks, and other devices. Should something be broken, it might be the root of your problems. Regretfully, identifying and fixing the convenience module can be difficult and necessitate expert assistance.
5. Speak with a professional: It's recommended to get advice from a trained mechanic who is experienced with the electrical systems of VW EOS if none of the aforementioned solutions work. With the use of specialist tools and equipment, they are able to identify the precise issue and suggest the best course of action for repair.

Hi. Ther is a bolt and plate at the base of the battery holing it in. 13mm socket and extension will be needed. Good luck.

Call the dealer with your VIN and radio serial number. They will look it up for you.

Check under back seat or in trunk.

If battery leak it is not water but battery acid. If water then there must be leak into trunk.

i havent ever had this problem but i'm familiar with the eos so i can say almost undoubtedly that the you have a bad trunk latch. there is a switch in the trunk latch that tells it if it's closed or open and i'm guessing that the switch is bad. once the switch tells the car that the trunk is closed, it runs the motor that close the trunk fully.

however, i say again that i've never had this problem on an eos so there is a fair amount of room for other issues. volkswagens are rather complicate and use a lot of different switches and such in the convertible top. also, the only way to know for sure is to bring your vehicle to the vw dealer becuase only the vw 5051 scan tool is capable of reading the inputs and outputs of the convertible top control module and this is what is required to properly diagnose the problem. don't waste your time throwing parts at it, the dealer should be able to give you a 100% positive diagnosis with one hours labor (about $90)
