Keyless handles again !
 

So I have decided to bite the bullet and change all my door handles to get the keyless working again.

I have just changes a door lock so I am quite happy with how to fit the door handles but I cant find any info on how to change the electronic handle / switch on the boot lid.

Can anyone help with instuctions ?

Thanks

Seek and thou shalt find. . . lots of PDF's !!

In the Common Faults section there is a tech dump which has all of the servicing and repair PDFs for D3's Link Below -

Thanks. Im quite happy with the door handles as ive just replaced a rear lock. Its the boot switch handle i am looking for instructions to change.

Thanks simon

Hi Simon,

I don't have first hand experience removing anything on the boot, but I wondered if Del's rear camera install may help...

Thanks im sure that will help.it will hopefully be obvious once i get in there.

As I said - its all in the document I alluded to!! Page 23 onwards :rolleyes:

Many thanks. That's alot of info there. I have found the handles and will trawl through it to find the boot handle.

Well i purchaced 4 used handles from our forum sponsors and as expected got great service and they were delivered the next morning.

I have had a little opp so cant work for a few weeks so fitted the drivers handle today. So i have keyless on the driver's door again. 1 down 3 to go. Interesting that on mine only one handle has ever worked properly opening when you put your hand near and 3 you had to lift the handle twice. For the first year i thought it was tbe good one that was faulty 😶

Unfortunately the handles are more silver and my car is more grey so they arent a perfect match but it doesn't look too bad. I dont think most people will notice it but it will probably drive me mad.

Well i did the rear drivers side hamdle this morning. Its a little trickier than the frints as its behind the window rails but with a little fiddling i managed to unplug and undo the rod retainer through the hole front outside whilst lifting the handle, this saves removing the window and window surround.

The second handle even though a little harder than the front took 45 minutes to fit and finish

Well done mate, my both pass left puddle lights are not working so I will need to tackle these soon:Confused: I am sure my friend neeldub will help out+++:p

The boot lock handle is simple. Once you get the inner bootlid trim off, you can see the screws holding it in from inside the lid.

So once again my driver side door KESSY lock button has packed up. I only changed this handle about a year ago. There is something seriously wrong with it's design.

Anyway i bought the handle brand new from TPS, can someone advise me on how to claim a new one on warranty. TPS have advised me that i have to take the car to an Audi dealer who will diagnose 1st to find the fault. But i can't be certain whether the labour costs for the diagnosis will be covered by the warranty.

Any one care to shed some light please.

Thank you

The terms and conditions are that the part must be fitted by a VAT registered garage. It is usually in fine grey print on the back of the receipt. I think you would have to talk nicely to the dealer. Audi cover the labour charge of removing and refitting. Not sure about diagnostics.
