Audi A3 - Video tutorial

Model: Audi A3 MK 3, 8V - Years 2012-2019
Part: -board computer
Operation: How to deactivate the traction control of the Audi A3

The Audi A3 8v does not provide for the possibility of completely deactivating the automatic traction control system and this obviously occurs for safety reasons. While it is possible to partially deactivate it so as to have less electronic driving controls and more fun. To do this, all you have to do is insert the key and turn on the instrument panel. Then move to the central dashboard button panel and locate the traction control button. Keep it pressed for about 4-5 seconds and at that point the system will be partially deactivated. To reactivate it, just press the same button once.

Handbrake adjustment on Ford Ecosport

First remove the plastic profile at the base of the gear lever. To do this, slightly widen the side edges and carefully lift it to release it. There is no need to remove it completely, just move it forward to avoid bother. Now remove the plastic center console around the handbrake by first working from the rear to release it and lifting it until the brake lever passes. Also in this case it is not necessary to remove it completely but, paying attention to the connected cables, it can be stowed in front of the passenger seat. At this point we notice that at the base of the handbrake lever, on the front, we find a nut. By acting on it, with a 10 wrench, we can adjust the brake force, increasing it by turning the nut clockwise, or decreasing it by turning it counterclockwise. Once adjusted, the center console can be repositioned first, pressing lightly to engage it, and then the profile of the gearbox base.
