    Looking for that part. The sensor aspect of that doesn't work on mine anymore tells me my trunk is open all the time.

    Looking for a cheaper alternative than online store. Anyone have access to a parting out a3?

    Check out car-parts.com , you can search junk yards for A3s. Look for one close by, maybe you can pull the part yourself.

    AVOID this part on a parted car.

    -Seriously.

    It's a common fault, caused by water ingress from rear washer fluid leakage.

    Any car that's been sat in a junkyard... you've got to be kidding. This part isn't going to be reliable.

    Audi dealership.
