How does the disassembly of the central console of the Audi A3 8p take place?

Model: Audi A3 8P, MK 2 - Years 2003-2013
Part: Dashboard

The attached video tutorial could not be a better example of the work mentioned. We are talking about disassembling the central console of the Audi A3 8P to replace the original car radio with a new generation one, so let's proceed to review the work: after extracting the car radio with the appropriate side tabs and disconnecting the rear cables, we move on to disassembling the air conditioning controls, then we remove the frame with a lever and unscrew the screws securing it. The final part involves disassembling the entire lower part of the console, which is secured by screws on both sides, in the tunnel area.

Installation of Upgraded Intercooler Radiator with Pipes

Lift the vehicle on suitable axle stands, remove the front wheels, and then the front bumper and grille. Proceed to remove the front headlights; drain the coolant, remove the intercooler radiator and the hoses connecting it to the intake system. Position the new intercooler radiator in the grille, temporarily securing it with cable ties, and mark with a marker the part of the metal that needs to be removed to allow the new hoses to pass through. Cut the marked portion of metal and apply a gasket to the edge. Remove the inner cover of the bumper and position it near the radiator to identify any interfering parts to eliminate: again, apply a gasket to the edge of the cut. Create brackets for securing the new radiator and proceed with the installation of the connecting pipes from the radiator to the intake, shaping and connecting them appropriately. Finally, reassemble the bumper, headlights, and grille.
