Thanks Mkoneman!
I wish there was a off-the shelf solution when I fixed mine 2 years ago. I ended up using stainless ball joints, had to cut them and tap them. Audi dealer wanted £160 for new arms & bellows.

Ben, thanks for the heads-up about the flap itself seizing up. Hopefully I haven't damaged anything. Now I see Audi's logic behind using plastic arms.
