Audi A3 - Video tutorial

Model: Audi A3 8Y, MK 4 - Years 2020-2024
Part: Locking the trunk
Operation: Automatic opening of the rear tailgate of the Audi A3.

If the Audi A3 is not equipped with the convenient remote-controlled rear hatch opening, we can fix it with a simple intervention. Let's get some pneumatic pistons that have spiral springs at the base. We open the rear hatch and with the help of a small screwdriver, we remove the metal block from the fixing heads of one of the two pistons installed as standard, disconnecting them from their seats, being careful as the hatch, not properly supported, may lower a bit. We replace the piston with the one equipped with springs and repeat the operation on the other side. Once both new pistons are installed, when we activate the remote-controlled hatch opening, it will open by itself, but the closing remains manual.

How do you adjust the clutch cable on the Kia Picanto?

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.
