Neil_S5 Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Evening guys and girls, I have just bought myself an 2012 S5 convertible and love it to bits already - here's the but... I have found it has the issue with water leaking into the boot on the left hand side but the fuses, the yellow sponge at the bottom is soaked :-( anyway will be calling up the dealership tomorrow to get them to sort it under warranty but the question I have is the boot lid and how it is meant to open. i was under the impression that when you pressed the boot unlock button twice on the key fob the boot lid is meant to pop up and open - is that right? As mine currently doesn't *sigh* thanks Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Hi Neil, Have you also tried pressing and holding - not sure if it's any different for the cab rather than the coupe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil_S5 Posted May 4, 2016 Author Share Posted May 4, 2016 Hi James, Yeah tried that - it just unlocks, not sure if its the boot struts have lost their gas as its not that easy to open either. really need to see if someones else that has a cab knows if it should or not.

Hmm could be. I'm sure I've read somewhere that it's different on the cab so yes I suppose it would be good to try and find someone else with a cab to ask. Or, just a thought - why not see if your local Audi dealer has one you can try? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abvrs Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 I've just purchased a S5 convertible, currently in shop for oil consumption test, I noticed the loan a6 boot popped open as you describe, I asked why mine only unlocks, apparently convertible does not do this, not sure why not though.

Trevor Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 I think James is right that the convertible does not do this...more than likely a feature that doesn't enable the boot to open when there is any likelihood of the roof being in anything but a closed position.

My cab just unlocks boot. As for the water you have 2 vents either side on car there is a fault with them. Just had mine done everything OK. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
