How to remove the diesel filter present on Audi A3

Model: Audi A3 8P, MK 2 - Years 2003-2013
Part: Diesel fuel filter

Let's see how to remove the diesel filter present on Audi A3: lift the front hood (engine) and put it in safety, we identify the diesel filter. With a screwdriver (Torx inserts) we unscrew the locking pins (we can also use a socket wrench) placed near the container where the diesel filter is located. Once the filter has been removed: remove the engine soundproofing panel and extract (the filter) from the car (replace it with a new filter). Finally we reassemble the filter to the attached container of the diesel filter (we connect pipes and cables) and tighten the appropriate pins. We close the front hood at the end of the replacement.

How to Replace the Right Fog Light Bulb on a Ford Fiesta

Replacing the fog light bulb on the passenger side, which uses an H11 fitting (the bulb holder also integrates the connector for the power supply), can be done either by accessing from underneath the vehicle by removing some covers, or more simply by dismantling the headlight. Once the headlight is removed, it is easy to reach the fog light housing and release the bulb by rotating the entire bulb holder. Disconnect the connector, connect the new bulb, and insert it into the bulb holder, rotating it until it locks in place.
