2015 GTI Battery Trickle Charge

[Guy]

I've ordered a new GTI and I didn't realise until just now that it appears that the battery is located in the boot under the spare wheel. I don't use my car very much in the winter and I need to connect it to an intelligent charger from time to time in the winter months just to stop the battery getting too low and being damaged.

Will I have to remove the spare wheel to get at the battery in my GTI, or is there a terminal somewhere more accessible that I could connect my charger to?

Many thanks if anyone can help!

There is two connectors in the engine bay to connect your charger to.

Wow - that's a relief! I guess they would be needed for emergency starting from a battery jump start pack (I've got one of those too!)

Many thanks for the quick reply.

I can see this forum is an extremely valuable resource. Hopefully I may be able to contribute something back in the fullness of time.
