Renault Clio '02 changing key battery - Dr B
Hi

I'm trying to replace the battery in the key fob for my wife's clio. Is it a question of levering the key apart with a screwdriver or does the key slide apart somehow.

Any help greatly appreciated before I manage to wreck it!!

Thanks

the top part of the plastic key fob slides backwards away from the metal key blade.Usually have to struggle cos they are very tight.Use a small bladed flat screwdriver to start it off.

Just be careful you don't do what my Fiance did. She took her 1.5dCi into the garage to get the battery changed in her remote and drove out in a brand new RS 182!

I wasn't complaining mind you!

Wonder if that would work with my golf, I quite like the new GTI.......!

Thanks for the help from all who responded, my next posting will probably be "I was changing the battery in a renault key fob when I impaled my wrist on a flat headed screwdriver, apart from casualty, are there any other options? (as the key to the clio doesn't work....!)

Cheers!
