Video tutorial

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.

How to Activate the Disabled TRC on the Toyota Yaris?

As the video clearly shows, disabling or activating the traction control (TRC or ESP) on the Toyota Yaris is very simple. By default, the traction system activates every time the vehicle is started. To disable it, simply press the button depicting a skidding car located in the centre of the vehicle where the controls are, such as the hazard lights and the radio, but near the handbrake. Once disabled, the TRC off light will illuminate on the dashboard. To reactivate it, just press the same button again.
