hey a4 quattro 2003 1.8T .. the trunk doesnt open with the remote but it open when you use a key .. i hear a clicking sound when i try to unlock it with a remote or from the handle but no lock opening it .ONLY OPENS WHEN I PUT THE KEY IN IT ..
cheeerrzz

 

Do you hold the button or just press on it? Try holding the trunk release button on your remote for 3 seconds or untill it pops open.

 

I know what your problem is. You will have to take apart the trunk. inside is a metal rod that is connected from the actuator to the release mech. It has bent over time you will have to go in and remove it and bend it back to the way it was. now all it will take is hand pressure to bend it back. Its not hard to remove it and put it back.

Good luck

 

thanks for the reply dude.. i tried opening it already but i dont know how the rod looks like .. do u have any pictures maybe .. cheerz

 

hey ya i have tried that method.. it doesnt seem to work ??

 

Did you find the proper rod? I will take it apart tomorrow and take a picture of the steel rod that you need to bend

 

no i didnt get time to take it apart but i was wondering my rear left side window doesnt open.. does the harness have to anything with the trunk .. i still hear the trunk click.

 

any luck buddy ?
