Audi A3 - Video tutorial

Model: Audi A3 MK 2, 8P - Years 2003-2013
Part: Accessory Kit
Operation: Installation of daytime running lights

European regulations require you to keep your headlights on even during the day. In order to avoid the frequent replacement of expensive bulbs and reduce fuel consumption, it is possible to install a kit of LED headlights which have a long life and low consumption. Once you have obtained the headlight kit, you can proceed with the installation. The lights must be installed at a certain height between 25 cm and 150 cm from the ground and the distance between the two lights must be at least 60 cm. Once you have found the right position, continue to install the plastic supports where the headlights will be inserted. These lights require a control unit which must be fixed inside the engine in a suitable position. Once the cables that go from the headlights to the control unit are connected, connect the black wire to the negative pole of the battery and the red one to the positive pole. At this point it is necessary to bring a wire inside the passenger compartment to which a switch for turning the headlights on and off must be connected. Remember to turn them off when parking your car.

How do you adjust the clutch cable on the Kia Picanto?

To be able to adjust the clutch cable of the Kia Picanto you need to open the hood so that you have access to the components inside the engine compartment: in order to reach the cable you will need to remove some components on the right side, such as the battery and the air filter. Below them you will find the clutch cable, which will have to be adjusted by screwing or loosening the bolt placed at the end of the cable. This will make the pedal harder or softer; after the adjustment, it will be possible to assemble all the components by closing the hood.
