    Hi Guys,

    Ive just bought an Audi A8 TDI 2006, and its a just a brilliant car.
    I checked out a few of these cars and noticed a lot had problems with the MMI screens retractable mechanism - either non working, or sticking. Unfortunatley mine here is the same!! Although, we did negotiate a much better price because of it!

    Can anyone out there help??

    The screen opens & closes fine, but when it opens fully, the mechanism is
    still trying to open it - as if it cant detect that its already open, so it shudders for around 3 seconds, then its fine.
    Im wondering if its the gears thats broke, or some kind of sensor which has failed.
    Also, would this be an easy fit for me to repair - diy?? Ive checked online, and suspect it could be the motor, but not really sure.

    I really want to get this sorted, as i dont think the internal gears are going to last with all the grinding and shuddering.

    So far, i well pleased with the car, and its got everything i wanted, so i'll be keeping it for some time...

    All suggestions are appreciated, as the most obvious answer is to take it to audi, but they charge a fortune, and past experience with dealers shows they dont always do a good job.

    Thanks for all your help!!

    Just had my A8 3.0tdi MMI basket mechanism replaced by Audi Coventry, - they charged £306.00 for the motor/gears and fitting. I haggled a 25% discount off parts and fitting.
