How to change a tire on an Audi A3.

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

In this video we see how to change a wheel on an Audi A3 8p: first, we block the wheel we intend to change, then we remove the tools and the spare wheel from the trunk of the car. Using the provided tool, we remove the hubcap and then loosen the wheel bolts. Next, we attach the jack to the lifting point, indicated on the threshold with an arrow, then lift the tire to be changed off the ground and completely unscrew the bolts. Now we mount the spare wheel onto the hub and then insert the bolts, tightening them lightly. We lower the vehicle to the ground, remove the jack, and following a diagonal pattern, tighten the bolts. We store the tools and the punctured wheel in the trunk. Remember that with the spare tire, you cannot exceed 80 km/h.

How to Remove the Gear Knob on an Opel Astra

How to replace the gear knob on an Opel Astra? Follow these steps: use a plastic lever to disconnect the leather gaiter frame (if you need to replace it). Grip the knob with both hands and pull it upwards (with a strong and decisive motion) until it comes off the gear stick. For installation: fit the new gaiter and position it on the centre tunnel, take the new knob and push it onto the stick, tightening it until fully threaded. Test the movement of the stick on the centre tunnel to ensure the knob is correctly fitted.
