How to mount the light on the cup holder of the Audi A3.

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

In order to do this purely aesthetic job, first of all we need to remove the center console. To start, we remove the gear shift knob, then, using plastic spatulas, we remove the center console: underneath, there are two connectors that we disconnect. We tilt the gear shift knob to remove the console. Remember to do everything with the car turned off. Once we have the console in hand, we turn it over and see that there are 10 points to detach in order to remove the cup holder. It is a job that requires precision and patience, but it can be done. We remove the thickness, in its place we will put our LED. This item can be found on AliExpress with the code 344316_486351 and costs $19.88, already complete with wiring. We glue the cup holder back together with vinyl glue and keep it under pressure for a few hours so that it adheres well. We can choose the color of the light by connecting the two wires. Now we proceed to reassemble the console and put the gear shift knob back in place. We're all set.

How to Remove the Oil Filter on a Toyota Yaris

How to remove the oil filter on a Toyota Yaris? This is a simple operation if you follow the correct steps. Lift the car using a column lift or jack. After removing the cover panel (if present), use a socket spanner to unscrew the oil filter holder. Allow the oil to drain into a container for disposal. Remove the dirty and worn filter from the metal container; clean the container and insert a new filter. Screw the filter holder back into its designated housing using the appropriate spanner and lower the car once the job is complete.
