Hi Guys & Gals,
I've recently taken possession of an A6 Avant 3.0 TDI 'Le Mans' complete with a powered tailgate. My problem is that although the tailgate is water tight when closed it has annoyingly started to 'drip' into the load area on opening.
It has already been back to the dealer to have the seal and load area cover replaced (the seal was distorted and crushed at the top and the cover was water stained) and we believed that this fixed the problem. Low and behold, four weeks later the problem appears again and the seal is once again distorted and crushed in the same place. Again, it is back with the dealer. however....
I'm now told by them that the water is coming from the top of tailgate itself and as they have no control over this they say, in so many words, that I'll have to accept it - not impressed!! :mad:.
I've now been to Audi UK who are on the case but my question is, has anyone else experienced the same problem, particularly with the powered tailgate?
I'd be grateful for any suggestions on how it was resolved!! :1zhelp:
