How to replace the brake light bulbs in the Audi A3 Sportback?

Model: Audi A3 Sportback MK 3 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Light bulb

To replace the brake light bulb in the Audi A3 Sportback, you must first obtain replacement bulbs of type W21W. Let's go into the luggage compartment and start by removing the side bulkhead of the side where we are going to work. Behind this bulkhead there is a cubic plastic nut, let's unscrew it with the help of inserting a screwdriver in the holes on the sides of the nut. The next step is to remove the rear light from the seat, in this case we will need a flat tool, possibly of plastic so as not to damage the paint. Let's insert it into the gap between the headlight and the bodywork and pry it, as shown in the video. We then disconnect the connector and finally remove the base in which the bulbs are positioned.

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.
