- Hi Everyone hope you keeping well. Here we have a quick guide to replacing the battery terminal fuse box on a mk4 golf.
These fuse boxes end up melting due to the alternator cable going bad and its highly recommend to replace both this and the alternator cable to stop the issue happening.

Nice to see you again it's been a while with your videos, hope you and your family are well.
Thanks bro it has been a while lol, we all good mate hope you are too👍🏼
That’s is a very common problem with them. I had the exact same in mine which I had to replace the alternator cable including the whole fusebox! I had to drive like that all the way back for 25 miles with battery not charging! When I got home and open the hood and i can smell something absolutely horrible!!! So glad I got mine done before anything happens or cause a fire!!
Yes mate very common, glad you sorted yours out. At least you have peace of mind now.
@@Mk4heavenHD I felt relieved when I got that done and put on a thicker gauge alternator cable on as they put out so much current by the alternator!
Hello, could you tell me please, the suitable copper section that you used for the alternator cable. Many thanks 🙏
Love your videos. Accent sounds very familiar 🤔 .
Thanks brother🙏🏽.. Accent is from Zim 🇿🇼 lol
@Mk4heavenHD Wow I'm also from Zimbabwe. Waiting for new videos 😅
Hi mate 👋, easy to replace but very useful from my point of view.
It is a very frequent issue on that generation of VW. Hope the cheap replacement piece has a good quality.
Would be interested in the clock spring replacement when you will do it.
Have a nice sunday 👍
Hi mate, yes very very common let’s hope the part holds up lol.. it’s been on there for 6months or so and touch wood all is good lol… I’m looking to do the clock spring in the summer, I actually bought one and it was the wrong one my car needs a different type of clock spring(typical) lol.. Thanks bro, you too.
Thanks for the video. One of my fuses melted in the box and I had to clean it out and replace the fuse so that my fans would kick in. Could this possibly be the reason my aircon is not blowing cold? I heard you mention it was causing issues with your aircon.
You welcome mate, with your A/C you need to have a look at the compressor and see if it spins when the a/c is on if it doesn't it could be either the fuse in that box, or it needs to be recharged. Most likely your a/c needs recharging to engage the compressor and blow cold. Hope this helps.
@@Mk4heavenHD when you say recharge aircon do you mean regassed? I'll have a look and see if compressor spins when aircon is on. I remember my fans werent kicking on before I replaced the flty fuse. Thanks for your response. Greetings from Cape Town
Car won't keep boost drops boggle and loses power won't gain speed if I step on the gas to hard gas pedal needs to be stepped on gradually to pick up speed boost and power any idea
@@l.v.sinester3314 Hi mate, I’ve never had this issue so can’t really say. I would suggest running a diagnostics on the car to see if there is anything that comes up as it could be a fuelling issues or bad n75 even a faulty sensor somewhere. When my car had a bad boost leak it did something similar but I could hear there was a leak.
@@Mk4heavenHD ok fuel system is the last thing I haven't done I look into that thanks for all them helpful videos you do for us
Do you have a video of you changing the alternator cable?
@@TiaraPrice-r8f No I didn’t make one unfortunately.
My bro, the accent is definateky from home. The Flat Fuse on the side of the battery, 200A 80A can any of this two make the car to start and die? I noticed it had to do with the fuse box!
@@ThedigitalAfrican Yes bro the accent from Zim lol… I don’t think that the starting and dying is related in my experience to a fuse that might be either a spark issue or some gremlins in the electrical system.
I’m getting no power to the fuses and cables and also there is no power in the connector
Sorry to say, but you replaced everything except what is causing the problem: the connectionshoe of the cable with the bold. This is what needs to be in top condition to minimise contact resistance.😅
Appreciate the feedback, On my car the original alternator cable was the problem mate and that’s what I needed to change it had gone green inside and burnt the copper stands causing the issue of the burnt fuse box with increasing the resistance.
Since changing the alternator in 2018 for 4gauge ofc cable it hasn’t burnt or got hot again, the current burnt box is from the old cable not the 2018 cable . The new fuse box was the last thing to be changed and it’s been perfect since 🤞🏼
@@Mk4heavenHD if the cable was already green inside, than it was definitely needed to be changed 👍
I also have to replace (a part of) the cable leading to the fans in front, because it's losing some isolation and looks green.
