What to do if the trunk of the Audi A3 no longer opens?

Model: Audi A3 8V, MK 3 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Checks and maintenance

In an Audi A3, it is possible for the trunk door to become locked, for example due to a malfunction in the related actuator. In this case, it is still possible to perform an emergency opening of the trunk by following the simple procedure shown in this tutorial. First, we open the rear doors, then we lower the backrest of the sofa completely and go inside the trunk compartment. We then locate the small indicated cap, remove it, and manually release the lock using the vehicle key. The trunk door is now free to be opened and repaired.

How to Replace the Rear Wheel Bearing on Peugeot 407

How to remove a rear wheel bearing along with all associated parts on a Peugeot 407? Position your car on a column lift, loosen the bolts with a socket wrench and raise it to a comfortable height. Unscrew the bolts and remove the wheel, then start unscrewing the bolts of the brake caliper to detach it from the bracket. Use a socket to loosen the caliper bolt. Now remove the caliper bracket and unscrew the bolts on the brake disc, pulling the disc towards you to slide it off the wheel hub. Completely remove the wheel hub from the car's arm and extract the worn bearing. Using a pressing tool, fit the new bearing. Before reassembling everything, clean all dirt and debris from the disassembled parts with brushes and lubricate the components. Refit the brake disc with all associated bolts.
