My dash display is showing my boot is open, but it is firmly shut.
Can someone point me in the right direction, can fix it myself easy enough if I know where to look or what to change.

More than likely the microswitch in the lock mechanism.

If it's anything like the VW Bora the part will be less than a tenner and can be changed in around 15 minutes.

Thanks McDuff, it was the microswitch, £27.84 from main dealer.
Its a pig to get the tailgate cover off, the metal clips are a pain.
Apart from that is was easy.

£27.84! I bet it's the same as the £8 part in the Bora.

Mind you, we had to shell out £60 for a replacement passenger door lock in the Bora when that microswitch went. Wonder what Audi would charge for a similar part.
