How to remove the steering wheel and airbag from the Audi A3 Sportback.

Model: Audi A3 MK 3, 8V - Years 2012-2019
Part: Steering wheel

In this video, we will see how to remove the steering wheel from the Audi A3, and then remove the airbag from the steering wheel. First, we need to turn the entire steering wheel to the illustrated position, then using a small screwdriver, we need to remove the cover into which we will insert an Allen key; we turn it until it loosens, then we turn the steering wheel to the other side and repeat the process. This way, we can remove the airbag module after removing the electrical connectors that connect the module to the electrical part. With a 55 torx, we can now remove the steering wheel that is fixed to the steering column.

How to Replace the Drive Belt

Disconnect and lift the bonnet, then disconnect the battery cables. The drive belt will likely be located on one of the two shorter sides of the engine, so if you do not have space to access the belt, you will need to remove any obstructing parts. Remove the tension on the belt by rotating the tensioner and then take off the belt. Check the condition of the belt, and before installing a new one, ensure it is the same as the one you just removed. Once the belt is removed, you can check the remaining pulleys and retrace the steps for reassembly.
