archies Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 Has anyone modded there boot so it auto opens off the fob, i think this only works on the saloons. If so is it a costly job to do. Archie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser647 Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 Not sure if you just want to pop it so it unlocks, or if you want it to auto-open so you can load it without having to lift it manually. Auto-open needs a motor, new struts. A button in the boot to close it and the associated wiring and control systems. Not sure about just the pop-it unlock bit on what you need.

archies Posted January 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 After some searching on the subject all that is needed is new hinges new springs and gas strutts. Here are the part numbers for the required parts. I do have the button on my fob that unlocks the boot but i would like it to fully open on pressing the fob 4F5827665A x 2 (springs) 8E5827552K x2 (Struts - different gas pressure to std struts) 8E5 827 302 RIGHT hinge 8E5 827 301 LEFT hinge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser647 Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 Let us know how you get on. I'd like that sort of thing on my A8! The original owner obviously didn't see the options list! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
