The D3 unit is a motor located at the right hand side of the boot that works the hinge for the lid. Gets a signal from the central locking to open, and from a button inside to close.

Pics aren't working for me, unfortunately. If someone would post that has had both a D2 and D3 I think that would be best.

Also, they appear similar enough I may be able to make it work. I'm going to pick up hinges at least, found a pair for only $45 (roughly 29 pounds). I can go from there methinks. I already know the latching mechanism will work. Last edited by 71camaro; 17th August 2012 at 06:37 AM.

I think VAGcat must be limited in functionality to people outside of Europe. Try using http://openproxy.co.uk/ and then access it through there.

This link is useful to understand the D3 system:
http://audiforum.us/threads/audi-a8-...ear-lid.12168/ You can download "Boot lid.pdf" file, which includes extract from ELSA about D3 boot lid drive.

The hinge on the driver side has a pin which the motor slides into, this is what raises and lowers the boot when you operate the motor.
I have the old motor from my D3 which I replaced as it would not lift the boot without some assistance. It could be that it just requires new brushes to have full power again, or it may even work on the D2 boot lid depending on the weight of it. New motors sell for around £400-£450 so if you are looking for a bargain drop me a pm. There is an attachment on this thread post #5 by PsYcHe which gives some detail
