I was also wondering whether or not it may be a broken wire where the loom passes through the top hinge, that happened on my 02 A4 last year but everything stopped working on that occasion

Evening all, Im having an issue with what seems to be the tailgate locking mechanism. The catch is working fine, however the warning light is staying lit on the dash as is the light on the inside panel of the tailgate. Since this fault has arose, the alarm keeps going off intermittently. I am guessing all these are related and possibly to a micro switch built into the locking mechanism. Any advice please?

Thanks for the welcome guys! Yes both high mileage cars and both running really well too!

Hello! Just joined up on the forum after reading several interesting threads. I have two Audi A4 (B6) Avant 1.9Tdi, one is 02 plate and the other is a 04 plate Quattro, I absolutely love these cars not only are they reliable and capable of everything that you throw at them they are comfortable and a pleasure to drive. I currently use the 02 plate for our work where we restore classic Mini's, its our 'works' tractor and pulls mini's on the trailer with ease. Its on an amazing 204300 miles at the moment and recently survived a side swipe on the motorway from a foreign lorry that hadn't seen me in his blind spot. Its now a CAT D but its back on the road still with the body damage but perfectly safe and legal. I bought the 04 plate with the insurance payout but so far it has only been used for family needs. Its in remarkable condition and it is now up to a good 177000 miles and running well. Having said that both have some issues which I am hoping to find out some information about on here :-)
