How to Retrofit a Manual Air Conditioning System to Automatic on an Audi Q2

Model: Audi Q2 MK 1 - Years 2016-2024
Part: Air conditioner

This video shows a retrofit to replace a manual air conditioning system with an automatic one on an Audi Q2, improving aesthetics and functionality. Replace the manual climate panel by installing a new 3-zone module, which can also be found used at a good price; as these are used parts, no purchasing advice can be given. You can add various sensors if desired, such as a solar irradiation sensor for temperature regulation or a humidity sensor to prevent fogging. However, there are limitations, as the compressor does not support two separate air flows: the temperature must be regulated uniformly throughout the cabin. Coding with the VDCS is necessary for proper operation. There are many advantages: improved aesthetics and enhanced comfort due to the automatic system adjusting to the external temperature. Installation requires electronic skills, so it is not for everyone.

Replacing the Battery in a Mercedes A-Class

Is the battery in your Mercedes A-Class dead? Can't start the car? Replace the battery. Open the car door and slide the passenger seat back; the battery is under the front mat (in other cars, it is usually located in the engine compartment). Remove the mat and the plastic cover from the battery. Start loosening the battery terminal bolts with a socket wrench. Remove the old battery using the plastic handle and install a new one, tightening the power terminals. Close the battery compartment and cover it with the mat.
