rbdazza Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 so its time to start working through the minor problems my "cheap" audi came with.... starting back to front i have so far found: 1. rear wiper broke, managed to bodge this to get the wiper working, although the jet is still not working, hoping this just needs good clean, but ultimately i need a whole new wiper assembly and jet when funding allows i think... 2. The boot release doesn't seem to work! i can open the boot by holding down the button on the key only. is there a setting for this or something obvious i am missing? or is there a common fault?

Trevor Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 I believe the two are linked...usually the washer jet leaks because the hose drops off the jet and then fills the boot lock mechanism. A simple strip down and rebuilds is all that's required....along with a lot of WD40 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbdazza Posted January 26, 2017 Author Share Posted January 26, 2017 a job for when it is warmer and i have the new wiper assembly to fit i think! what you are saying is possible, however on mine the pipe hasn't come off, the jet is just blocked, so the water runs down the outside of the boot lid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 yep...definitely one for when it's warmer ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbdazza Posted January 30, 2017 Author Share Posted January 30, 2017 Fixed it. There's a setting on car settings that I've changed and the boot release now works! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What setting was this? I'm having similar issues as I can't open the boot by pressing the boot button, I can only do it by pressing the fob or the boot button on the drivers side door.
