Replacing the central locking boot lid actuator rubber boot
I did this repair yesterday. I am submitting this documentation in case it can help someone he future. I realise that there are probably other (and better) documented fixes on the internet but here is my effort nonetheless.
Actuator_boot_replacement.pdf Improvements and/or amendments will be gratefully received and incorporated. Thanks to all for being here!

So the orange actuator seal is an original C4 part?
Is the Bosch part (the spark plug boot) one you think is a viable alternative? Have you tested it? Is a seal made to the original design a candidate for 3D printing? Sorry for so many Q's!

Yes, an original C4 part from my 1994 Audi 100q. Even the ones from a year later, as found in the two C4 A6 vehicles that I have, seem to be of a lesser quality than the orange boot.

Did you by any chance try sourcing the orange boot new? Or would you have a PN?
