Hi peeps
I'm having an issue with the boot lock on my car (B8 A4). It won't open with the remote or with handle on the boot... I can hear the solenoid making a noise inside of the boot when I try to opening it.
I suspect it's either become loose/disconnected somehow or is faulty. I removed the boot lining to get to it but I can't get the plastic cover, that covers the solenoid and the emergency release off.
Has anyone here perhaps removed the boot lock solenoid on a B8 A4 before? I can't for the life of me figure out how get the plastic clip thingies that keep it in place to come out.
Thanks

Re: Audi B8 boot not opening
Hi Guys,
I am having the same problem with my Audi. Boot wont open from key or any other place, can only open from emergency cable under back seat. Do you know what the problem could be and how to fix?
Regards
Marco

Re: Audi B8 boot not opening
I ended up buying the whole locking mechanism on eBay from some place in China. Cost about R250 but has been working like a charm for the past few months.

Re: Audi B8 boot not opening
Hi, same issue here, had this problem for a while now.
First I could here the actuator noise when pressing the button on the boot or on the key. Now after leaving it for a while the noise stopped altogether and it simply won't open. Now I can only open the boot with the manual latch mechanism from the inside (B8 Avant).
Anyone have ideas?
