Audi A6 C7 Trunk closing.
Hi All
Have a A6 (C7) bought new in November 2011. I find that I cannot close the Trunk (boot in the UK) on the first attempt. I need to close it shut with a little force, otherwise the trunk does not take the latch. Anyone experience this problem. Fault or a design flaw ? Grateful for any thoughts.
(2.0tdi S line Multitronic,Saloon. Ibis).

I reference a part available in the US. There may be an equivalent in the UK.

It could be that the rubber seal is stiff. It might loosen up or get squashed down over time.
Mention it next time you go in for service, they might be able to adjust the latch.

I guess you could screw around with the settings/options until you track down what it is, not worth it to me.

Trunk rubber seal
Driver side door rattle (most likely LED strip)
MMI screen occasionally not deploying

I have that problem with the front doors, half of the time it doesnt close tight. I have to slam it and I really dont like doing that. Audi should have put in a soft close for the A6's front doors like the A8.

On our new A6, the door insulation on the front edge lip of the left rear door was loose and had gotten bent into an odd shape; you might check yours to see if that's causing problems.

I started this thread yesterday. It is an inexpensive solution to the problem.
