Very straightforward to do. Amazing video took me approx 30mins. Don't be scared with pulling off the trims, it feels like it's going to break but needs a bit of a pull.

[@adrianTNT]

I just took my light out and it works to just pull the plastic a bit next to the light, that plastic is very flexible and you have enough room. There is a clip that you need to pop out right in the middle there (2:35) aligned with the light. The video did help a lot, just that it looks like it works without take all that trim off 😎

Excellent instructions. Absolutely insane engineering on the part of Audi.

[@nickpritchard7130]

Great vid.. Can you recommend a good workshop manual for this vehicle. I have the 2011 1.6TDi Auto sportback version.. thanks.

[@mosconi4539]

Thx a lot for the video! Did Audi made it complicated or what 🤔

[@max_white_cars_hip-hop_2000]

Thanks for the video 🙏 helped me remove some broken pieces in the hatch 👌

[@Sandra-fi9sx]

I thought this would be easier, now I'm more confident that I want to let a shop fix it😂

[@mitsakosred1243]

Me too lol

[@adrianTNT]

5:18 Thanks. I think I would have tried to slide the black plastic back in when the light is mounted on the vehicle 🤡 That would be a fun 2-3 days 😅

[@geofftownley3137]

Very interesting, especially the removal of the trims, but my spoiler seems to be different as my lamp assembly does not have that "sliding bar" method, it seems to have screws holding it in place. My car is an 8P Quattro 2.0 Tfsi Black Edition 2011.

Thankyou for posting

[@martintoth5859]

Thank you for the video😬

[@jocplay9705]

Thanks for the video

[@adrianTNT]

Is it more common for the actual lamp to fail or the worn wires at the hinges ? I want to know where to check first and wht to expect 😬

[@SelectVehicleSpares]

Hard to say, as it could be either, but probably more likely to the the light itself.

[@willLimb74]

Great help thank you

[@RozaviRozi]

Is there difference between this and the 3 door 2003 also is there difference in the 3rd brake light it selfe

[@markoivancic3279]

Does anyone know this pls. This module left of the Brake Light Lamp is a Antenna Amplifier Booster and it is connected to window heaters. I see on the video that this car doesnt have the right one, I also dont have the right module but i see that the wires are cut so i believe i used to had one. So i dont know what is normal. Pls if someone know this. Also my car has navigation radio and bose music.

[@johnnyberglund841]

Hm? Very complicate for a no mechanic dude, haha! 😢 Didnt see bulbs in this vldeo clip, must ramp change total?

[@tin-sewdavid633]

its the same for 5 doors?

[@SelectVehicleSpares]

From wat we can remember, the 5-door is slightly different. We will do a video for the 5-door when we next get one in the workshop.

[@zg0301zg]

Same question ?

[@rjj00]

Hey any update on the 5 door? Also do you actually need to remove all of the boot trim as I've seen videos where people just unclip the top part near the brake light and push it out with screwdriver to save time

[@Glories999]

Hope this won't be necessary when I get my roof wrapped, be an extra £50 😅

[@gizsealface]

what a crock of shit having to do all this, whenit could have been a simple push in fitting with spring clips on the sides to hold it in. Well, I`m not farting about with all that, my light can stay out of use (not lit).

God I hate my Audi so much.
