I visited my local Audi dealer today, the remote locking on my current A4 has packed up again! (Both Keys)

MMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmm 'New' A4 Avant S-Line, loads of extras in Red in the showroom must take alook!

Just working my way round the car, when 'Bang' I walked into the corner of the raised tailgate!

No laughing it hurt! :aargh4:

But to my mind the powered tailgate appeared to be resting too low as I was able to push it higher. Now this is concerning because the way it looks I will keep hitting my head. (I'm 5'11" not the tallest person).

I'm going back tomorrow and take a further look.

The power tailgate is programmable so that it will stop at a pre-determined height set by the owner (for those with low garage ceilings). I believe the A6 Avant also has this feature. Probably why it still had more range of motion left in it.

:aargh4:No sympathy here!

Went back earlier this morning to get my remote locking sorted, and yes the tailgate does go higher, it must be set-up incorrectly.

Had a sit inside, luvin those leather seats.

Messed around with the 'MMI' and the 'Sat Nav', it's all good.

:D
