Localization and diagram of the fuse boxes of the Audi A3 8L

Model: Audi A3 MK 1, 8L - Years 1996-2003
Part: Fuse box

Regarding the fuse boxes of the Audi A3 8L, we find the fuses behind a panel that is in contact with the driver's door frame, inside the dashboard. You can access it by using a small screwdriver to pry open the notch on the panel itself. The relay box is instead located in the lower part of the dashboard, on the left side of the steering wheel. In the engine compartment, there are also two fuse boxes: one below the air filter box, which we will call "box no. 1", larger in size, and a smaller one (box no. 2) located at the base of the windshield, in front of the driver (for left-hand drive cars).
