I am on my second replacement number plate light/boot latch unit.

The original unit went after about three years of ownership, the replacement lasted just over a year but as MOT was about to expire I had no time to book in to a dealer to investigate. The replacement has lasted 3 months!

Parts carry a two year warranty but I have been advised that Audi will charge me £140 to investigate the issue, if the part is not at fault then they will keep the £140. Is this normal? I have my worries that I will get charged the £140 anyway.

Water must be getting in somehow and causing it to blow. I have noticed when washing the car that the drain on the left side of the boot lid is not working and water retains under the spoiler.

Anyone else experienced issues with these units going and any ideas on why the unit seems to be malfunctioning?

Many thanks
