Automatic opening of the rear tailgate of the Audi A3 MK3

Model: Audi A3 8V, MK 3 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Hydraulic pistons

Having the automatic opening of the rear hatch of the Audi A3 is very convenient when our hands are busy with luggage. If our model does not have this function, we can remedy it by installing aftermarket pistons equipped with a spring. We open the hatch, remove the metal locking clip with a flathead screwdriver, and remove the old pistons replacing them with the new ones, put back the locking clips and close the hatch. By activating the opening with the remote control, the hatch will open automatically. The closing will have to be done manually.

How to Remove the Brake Disc on Mitsubishi Pajero

How to remove the brake disc along with the brake pads on a Mitsubishi Pajero? First, lift the vehicle on a column lift to a suitable height for working. Next, remove the wheel (using a telescopic spanner or air drill) with the respective bolts. Undo the locking bolt of the brake caliper, and remove it from the caliper support. Remove the caliper support from the wheel hub using a socket spanner. Once the brake disc is free, undo the screws with a fixed spanner and detach the disc from the wheel hub.
