It's likely to be the broken spring issue..
Take off the boot end trim and look if the spring is broken in the latch.. https://www.audiworld.com/forums/a8-...ishar-2866079/ http://www.dognmonkey.com/audi/fix-a...t-closing.html

Thanks for your suggestions, links and offers of parts guys.
I've been opening and shutting my boot manually [using the right end of the lid] quite a few times since it played up last week and the motor never 'clunked' [and I've obviously had the DIS display showing the pictorial red 'boot is not closed' image]. But here's a funny thing; I shut it earlier to day and realised five seconds later that I'd forgotten my laptop. But I couldn't open the boot - it was locked tight. But then I tried the latch; the motor made a noise and the boot motored up and when I pushed the lid button it motored down and locked. So now it works but I guess it will play up again and I'll need the diagrams and or parts you offered. Keep you posted ... Thanks - JUlian

Julian, you know that these beasts are too complicated for their own good.
Everytime I fix a minor niggle another pops it's head up. I currently have a suspension lifted yellow light on with the suspension working correctly. VCDS tells me my rear nearside sensor is faulty just when I was plucking up courage to strip the driver's door to resolve the heated mirror problem.
