    Auto tailgate!

    What, I thought you had this sorted?! Well yes and no. The auto tailgate works just fine from the drivers door button and tailgate buttons but it will not open via the remote. I'm guessing its a coding thing, but the coding option is still greyed out on VCDS and VCDS shows no coding present...

    Avant rear tailgate lights!

    Avant rear tailgate lights, what a pita to swap out. Those plastic brackets, the smaller one goes on ok, but the larger one is a right fiddle!

    AMI interface boxes

    Looking to replace the CD changer in my glove box for an AMI unit, but the specific A6 ones part number 4E0 035 785 B are quite a lot more expensive then say one for an A5, part number 8T0035785A. They look very similar, which of course may mean nothing! Are these compatible with our A6's...
