Default Questions (kinda long)

I have been driving this A8(2000) for a little while now and i had a few minor questions.

1. When you hit the trunk release on the key FOB does the trunk pop open all the way, or just a little?

2. Does anyone use mud flaps(guards by wheels)? do they work? I was thinking for the winter.

3. In second gear at low RPM at around 14/1500 I goose it. The RPM's rise to 2500-2700 then drop to 2300 then rise smoothly all the way to redline. This only happens sometimes, NO codes and the car runs very strong.

I forget the others. thanks
