My business is for sale:
The first kit will fit the A5's. I'll work on what it will take to make them fit other Audi's.
On many Audi's there is a micro switch in the front hood latch that commonly fails. On the older Audi's like my wife's 2010 A5 the switch is now obsolete so you have to replace the whole latch assembly (expensive) to upgrade to the new Audi switch design.
My kit is easy to install and costs a lot less than replacing the hood latch assembly. It is also very easy to install. You do not need to unbolt and remove your hood latch.
How to install:
 |
 |
| The wire to the factory switch runs along side the cable to the latch. Cut the wires to the plug. Also cut the wires (the wires going to the left) to the hood latch. This wiring is no longer needed. |
Strip the wires and crimp on the terminal ends |
 |
 |
| Push the switch into the steel bracket and push the terminals on to the new switch. |
Remove this bolt. |
 |
 |
| Select enough washers to make the steel bracket sit above the plastic lip. Generally 3 thick washers and one thin washer. |
Align it like this and snug up the hex head bolt to test it |
To test it:
Close the hood. Put the key in but do not start the motor. Open the hood. The dash screen should say front hood open. If not remove the key. Remove the hex bolt and add a few more washers. Close the hood. Insert the key again but do not start the motor. Open the hood. The dash display should say hood open.

SHIPPING NOTE:
I do not offer free shipping.
Because I use postal flat rate boxes for heavy orders there is no program that can add the proper amount of shipping to every order. So all shipping is added manually by myself after you place your order. That is explained here: Shipping added later explanation
When you place an order the shipping amount will show $0.00. Soon after you place an order you will receive an email confirmation that shows the amount of shipping that was added to your order.
Shipping
Shipping is $6.00 (USA)
Final shipping cost is determined by weight of the item(s) and distance from , Milwaukee, WI. Shipping prices quoted are for items shipped to the Midwest area in the USA. If you are ordering a single item or multiple items the total shipping price is determined after you place the order. I try to keep my shipping prices to a minimum and use Postal Flat Rate boxes whenever I can utilize them for an order.
