How to replace the seat cord or cable of the Audi A3

Model: Audi A3 MK 2, 8P - Years 2003-2013

In today's video we will see the instructions that will allow us to disassemble and replace the cable for the tilting of the front seat of the Audi A3. First we open the front door and start by removing our front seat; to do this we unscrew all the screws that we find on the seat guides, then disconnecting the electrical connectors that we find below, as shown in the video. At this point, once the seat has been removed, we are going to unhook the seat tilting cable mechanism, which we find under it; then we disassemble the cable and reassemble everything!
