Ta, the garage we bought it from have said to take it and get it fixed and send them the bill.

My dad has just bought a 52 plate Quattro Sport TDi, everything is great but the alarm keeps going off, the pictogram on the dash shows the drivers door is open but it isn't. What is inside the door that tells the alarm whether it's open or closed?

No rubber bumpers on it!

It moves easy enough with a screw driver, I can see the linkage moving when I operate the paddles on the outside. No matter how hard I shut the boot it won't latch but moves perfectly freely otherwise.

Got it open but now it wont latch shut!!

Ah, especially not as the car is for sale!

It certainly doesn't seem to be, I spent an hour in the boot yesterday, I've undone every hex bolt I can see but as you say, the plastic trim panels are still being held in place by things that you can't see until the boot it open. I'm at a loss, it looks like a big garage bill to get it sorted.

Yep, had me and my dad pressing down, no luck.

Tried both, you can here it unlocking through the central locking but when you squeeze the paddles either side of the lock nothing happens.

No

Bumped for the weekday crew, I'm still getting nowhere.

I'll have a look and see what's involved.

I have one on my 97 1.8t and I hate it. If it can be taken off without leaving the car looking a mess then I'll happily sell it!

Done that loads, it won't budge.

I can't get the boot open on my 97 A3, it opened fine yesterday and I've never had a problem, I can here the lock opening and closing but it won't release. Help!

Annoyingly the problem has vanished now. I wonder if it will have recorded any faults on the VAG COM?

What is a good make to go for? Europarts list 4 different ones.

That's what's happening, it feels like it's running on 3 and down on power when you go to accelerate.

Ah, never had a car that didn't have leads, I just assumed! So what's likely to be causing the misfire then, I lost about half power last night then on the way home it cut out for a second then came back.

My A3 1.8t is badly in need of a service and is misfiring. I've used Magnecor on other cars but can't find them listed for the A3 1.8t. Has anyone used them or can anyone recommend similar. Will be replacing plugs too if anyone has any recommendations. Cheers
