I have just upgraded the interior lights (bulbs) on my daughters car to LED and thought I would share this, if it helps? The cabriolet shares the same vanity mirror lights and glove box light with other A3's but the single front roof/dome light unit is different. I couldn't find a YouTube video or images anywhere as to how to access this. Gently pry the thin black fascia without getting behind the white casing. It feels like it's going to break but just gently ease it out with a plastic pry tool in a few different areas of attack. You can use your fingers when you get to the stage pictured. The two lens covers pull off easily. Just reverse the process when you have fitted the LED bulbs, the bulbs just pull out. The whiter LED light makes a big difference and dances off the aluminium trim. It's well worth the effort.

Every year i pay around £30 for a set of bosh areotwin flat wipers... but i found on ebay replacments rubber blades £5 only and i thought ill have a go . In principle i saved myself £50 as usualy i changed them 2x per year . Changing them took 5 min , the end cap is a bit of a pain but with gentle screwdriver poke it came off. They work like new! But i wonder if they will last same as new wipers ...? 🤔

Hello Paul, Check that the drain holes in the plenum chambers under the bonnet are free from debris. You should be able to check these by gently lifting the plastic cover forward of the wipers. Kind regards, Gareth.
