How to install illuminated profiles on the interior door of an Audi A3

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

We know that we cannot mount additional lights on the outside of our car, but nothing prevents us from installing illuminated profiles inside the door of our Audi A3. Let's see how to do it. These door profiles are only original BMW and cost about 500 Euros, which must be purchased at the dealership with the codes 5268020 and 5263658; however, everything will then be controlled by the MMI. The disassembly of the door has been simplified, but we are still given the opportunity to see where the screws to be removed are located. We turn over the panel and remove the sound-absorbing lining, remove the profile and replace it with the illuminated one, for which we will build the electrical system; it will be enough to lay a wire, creating the connection with the existing system, and then we can put back the sound-absorbing lining; we will do the same for the rear door.

To bleed the clutch on a Renault Clio, open the bonnet to access the components located in the engine bay: here, you will need to undo the screws that secure the battery in its housing, the intake manifold, and the coolant reservoir. This will allow you to locate the pipe through which the brake fluid flows: by inserting the other end of the pipe into a container, you can press the clutch pedal to expel all the fluid until it fills the container.
