How to synchronize the air conditioning system of the Audi A3

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

The air conditioning system of the Audi A3 model 8P allows for independent use of the air conditioning; in fact, by turning the knobs, it is possible to have two different climates on both the left and right sides. However, by holding down the AUTO button located between the knobs for a few seconds, both readings are linked together. When the temperature is changed on the driver's side, it also changes on the passenger side until adjustments are made using the passenger side knob. To return to the independent air conditioning option, simply press the AUTO button.

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.
