Replacing the Lock on an Audi A5

Model: Audi A5 8T8, 8T3, 8T, 8F - Years 2007-2016
Part: Door lock

Open the door in question, where you will replace the lock, and remove the outer plastic next to the handle using a plastic wedge. Now work on the inside of the door by removing, again with the wedge or lever, the long strip of plastic at the level of the inner handle. Then remove the cover of the central handle and unscrew the Torx screws that are now exposed. Also unscrew all the other bolts shown in the video, such as those securing the panel from underneath. Now you can remove the door panel and follow the procedure in the video until you reach the lock.
