In order to replace the rear brake pads of the Audi A3, you need to lift the car so that the rear wheels can be removed from the corresponding hub: to do this, you will need to loosen all the screws that secure the wheel so that the corresponding disc can be identified on the back.

Here you can locate the brake caliper, which will need to be detached from its seat by loosening the screws that secure it: this way you will be able to remove the pads located on the inside and replace them with a new spare part.

After the replacement, you can check that everything is functioning correctly.
