Sounds like you need a new latch mate... Couldn't tell you a part number I'm afraid and I wouldn't recommend getting a brand new one anyway if I'm honest!

Maybe Mr @Prawn can advise better, I know he's has some issues here! lol

Is it bouncing on the lock when you close it with the lock failing to catch?

 

[StrmsekS3]

yep bouncing back! takes mb 20 timesto close it

I am having the same issue With the passengers side door on my a6 just keeps bouncing open ? The drivers one seems to be ok with allot of wd40 and opening and closing.

Any help would be great

latch mechanism, and a common problem, had to replace mine last year, around £80-£90 from Audi if I recall correctly
