Default Automatic boot opener

The motor for opening the boot lid on my A8 is not operating properly. From what I've read the hinges need to be completely free so that no friction holds back the operation of the motor. I have spent a fair amount of time and efforts lubricating the hinges to ensure they are operating properly but still the lid requires manual assistance.

I know that the motor needs replaced as they have a tendency to get weak and are then unable to lift the lid. I have managed to purchase the latest upgraded one which I am awaiting its arrival and my question is...

Can anyone supply the fitting instructions for said motor, I've had a look in the rear compartment, but don't want to start removing anything until the new part arrives, but it would be good to have details at hand so that I can swap the motor when it arrives.


Next question regarding the boot...
The remote boot switch inside on the door doesn't seem to be working, has anyone had similar problems or does anyone know what the problem may be?
