Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.

The vehicle we will be working on is this 2007 Audi A4, but this should be the same for 2003-2008, and maybe even beyond those years.

It's pretty simple, just open up your trunk and you should see a little round indentation on the passenger side. Pry it out and then I believe you can pull that red, you can see in there, there's a red tab. You can probably pull it out without removing this bolt. This bolt holds the tail light in though.

Use a flat blade screwdriver. You can unscrew it by screwing it counterclockwise, and then you can see that ring right there. Reach in, pull it back, and you'll release the fuel door.

Thanks for tuning in. We hope this video helped you out. Next time you need parts for your car, please visit 1AAuto.com. Also check out our other helpful how-to and diagnosis videos.

Why you Should Replace Not Restore Headlights

See why replacing your cloudy headlights with new ones is always better than refinishing them Why should you replace your headlights and not clean or refinish them? Three reasons: It's a simple fix, it increases visibility, and it enhances the overall look of your vehicle. Headlights are made from a polycarbonate plastic that can be damaged by UV rays from the sun or suffer pitting caused by road debris light salt and rocks. If you look closely at an old set of headlights, you'll see that the lens is full of micro-cracks. This is called crazing. This crazing, along with pinning, will turn your headlights from crystal clear to hazy yellow and it cuts the output in half, making it very difficult to see at night. It also makes your car look old and dated. With parts from 1AAuto.com and our how-to videos, you can make your vehicle look new and stay safe on the road.
