How to Replace the Third Brake Light on the Audi A6 Avant

Model: Audi A6 MK 3, C6 - Years 2004-2012
Part:

On the upper edge of the rear hatch of this Audi model, the LED third brake light is located. To replace it, you should remove the plastic cover of the hatch. However, you can detach just the upper trim and pull it away by inserting a spacer, such as a roll of tape, as shown in the video. The plastic is flexible enough to be moved without damage. At this point, press on the metal tabs that secure the third brake light to the body and detach it to remove it from its housing, then disconnect the power connector. Spray some contact cleaner on the connector before attaching it to the new brake light and reverse the steps for installation.

How to Reset the Central Locking of the Volkswagen Golf 4?

If the central locking system of the Volkswagen Golf 4 is not working, it is likely necessary to reset the system: to do this, open the driver's door and detach the side panel of the dashboard next to the steering wheel. Under this panel, you will find the fuses, including the one for the central locking, which is indicated in the manual as number 14. To reset the system, remove this fuse from its housing, then reinsert it or replace it with a new one of the same amperage: this will reset the central locking system.
