How do you remove the side plastics of the seats of an Audi A3 8V?

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

In this video we can see how to disassemble the side plastics of the seat of an Audi A3 8V: we will only need a plastic spatula, as everything is pressure-fit. It is much more practical to lift the seat up in order to work better on it. In reality, they are all snap-in pins so it is not difficult, we just need to be very careful not to force the plastics, to avoid them breaking. When removing the plastic cover, pay attention to an internal hook that must be manually unhooked. The lever that gives movement to the seat is removed by levering on a pin, which is well illustrated in the video; the washer is snap-in only, pay attention to the electrical connector for the lumbar adjustment. On the back side there is a fixing pin, typical of Audi cars.

Installation of Upgraded Intercooler Radiator with Pipes

Lift the vehicle on suitable axle stands, remove the front wheels, and then the front bumper and grille. Proceed to remove the front headlights; drain the coolant, remove the intercooler radiator and the hoses connecting it to the intake system. Position the new intercooler radiator in the grille, temporarily securing it with cable ties, and mark with a marker the part of the metal that needs to be removed to allow the new hoses to pass through. Cut the marked portion of metal and apply a gasket to the edge. Remove the inner cover of the bumper and position it near the radiator to identify any interfering parts to eliminate: again, apply a gasket to the edge of the cut. Create brackets for securing the new radiator and proceed with the installation of the connecting pipes from the radiator to the intake, shaping and connecting them appropriately. Finally, reassemble the bumper, headlights, and grille.
