John !Removed! Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Hi All, new to the club, would like to ask a question! My tailgate has suddenly started opening only half way , was wondering if anyone else has encountered this problem before I go stripping it down to try and find the fault.

sshooie Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Hi John, welcome to the forums. Will the tailgate lift if you give it some gentle assistance, maybe a safety limit switch somewhere? I'm new to the A7 but did notice the tailgate opens and closes slowly compared to the last few cars I've had, I attributed this to the sheer size of it and the angle, previous cars have all been estates so much smaller and vertical.

sshooie Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 I had a 5 series before and a nice touch was you could set the height of the tailgate 'rise' on the iDrive, great if you have a low garage etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks will be having a look this weekend, it does open fully with a little gentle persuasion. 2 hours ago, sshooie said: Hi John, welcome to the forums.
