How to emergency open the trunk lid of the Audi A4

Model: Audi A4 B8 - Years 2007-2016
Part: Car door

Today we will explain how to open the trunk lid of the Audi A4 model B8 in emergency situations. Emergency opening can be important when we need to retrieve something from the trunk but the lock is jammed. To perform this operation, we need to recline the seats to access the compartment. We move the cover of the internal lock using a flathead screwdriver. Using the same screwdriver, we operate the lock from the inside, unlocking it by pressing on it and giving a few taps to the left. By doing this, we would have opened the trunk; unfortunately, it will be necessary to replace the lock afterward.

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.
