Question-------------------------
There is no bolt or clamp on the top and I cannot see any clamp on the sides of the battery. Seems like it is held at the base somehow.
Also how do I determine if it has a GENUINE radio. The car came equipped with a radio from the dealer.

Question -
I want to remove and install a new battery in my 2000 Volkswagen Beetle, but I am not sure which nuts/bolts are holding it in place. Is there anything under the battery holding it in?
Is this something I can do my self or should a mechanic do it?
Answer -
there should be a 13mm bolt holding it down with a clamp. remove this and the clamp, then undo the battery terminals and remove and replace the battery. PLEASE NOTE, IF FITTED WITH A GENUINE RADIO, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE CODE CARD or the radio may not work again.
Answersorry, my poor descripion. the clamp is on the base towards the front of the vehicle. the radio should say "betta" or "gamma", if it is original. otherwise it will say "sony" or "jvc" or "clarion" etc. the genuine one is not branded like aftermarket ones.
