Part: Lock
Operation: How to remove the lock of the Audi A3

Replace the Audi door lock if it does not work with the remote control, or even trying with the key; in this case it means that there is a problem with the soldering and the micro switch. The lock consists of several parts: the central locking and other components. To perform a correct job, several components must be disassembled: disassemble the four connections of the central block, the cylinders and the external handle, the glass and the window frame and the internal door lining. Once the internal plastic panel and the locking screws have been removed; you will find a microswitch with interlocking mechanism. This object is held in place by a spring which must be removed carefully. To facilitate the disassembly of the lock you can also contact an authorized workshop whose cost is not high; about Euro 150.

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.
