Volkswagen Golf 2017: Should I disconnect the battery for a month?

Asked by Amaresan

I have a 2017 Volkswagen Golf. I am planning to go on a holiday during Christmas for a month. Can I disconnect the battery supply, or should I just leave it locked and in the garage? Is the computer programmed for disconnecting the battery?

You could disconnect the battery without any drama, or you could just leave it locked up in the garage. Should you do so you shouldn’t have a problem starting it on your return.
