where to get a new one?
How has it failed?
Be careful if the solenoid is sticky... the Audi garage left my car overnight with a sticky latch (it was always "ON") and the heat generated by the solenoid melted the plastic plate surround (where the fog lights are).
Can you describe this "failure" more than just what you wrote?
meaning:
1. won't open?
2. won't shut?
3. remote will not operate the lock?
4. key will not open lock?
5. emergency handle in trunk will not open.
6. etc.
Not to get off on the wrong foot but it is similar to posting "Car won't start" - just saying...

Hmmm, my issue was it would open with inner and outer handle, but not with remote or in car button.

Ben, not to be a thread-jacker, but your post reminded me of a very funny email I got several years ago about written memos between pilots and maintainence crews regarding complaints and repairs.
Pilot memo to maintainance: Something loose in cockpit.
Maintainance crew response: Something tightened in cockpit.

Sounds like the solenoid is stuck in the open position. As if the button were always being pushed. (even though I'm sure it's only a momentary switch)
I would verify the trunk switch on the B-Pillar is good, too.

Replaced the switch, only to find out it seems to be the solenoid from the b pillar that actuates the trunk to open, stuck in the open position. Just like you mentioned. At least I have 2 functioning latches now..
So as of now, the solenoid and the rod are out, and the emergency handle doesn't work. So don't anyone lock themselves in my trunk.
Anyone know off hand how much this solenoid cost?
Ughh, this just happened. FOB and trunk key move internals, latch won't move though. There is just one u shaped latch piece that I can move with my finger, but there appears to be another latch stuck on the right side. Also with the trunk open and pressing on the pillar button didn't hear a thing. Help? Tough, had the car back for a week after a month and $5k
