Hi, i'm new here too. I think the problem is down to one or both of the looms on the underside of the boot lid being cracked/broken where they bend near the boot hinges - a common problem and causes all sorts of weird faults. Replace looms at £100 each from Audi or cut and repair.

I've just asked this at my local $tealer..not on the dialog system - which means you pay up front for them to make one? and cost £395 + VAT :scared:

Cactus, same engine 2.6 on a '96 but manual roof - that's maybe the difference, but phone around i was surprised at the difference in price between dealers, one quoted £165 for the same thing....:confused:
