basically... the issue is that on the "first gen" 2008 B8, Audi didn't install Boot Dampeners on their cars, so on my car, it flings up rather than smoothly opens, like on the video above. I'll eventually attach a video of mine, and well, I'm less than impressed with the speed at which it flings open, even deserves a "watch out" sticker on it!
I have the same car and it raises just the same. No issue with your boot lid. I also had a 06 Passat TDI which has the same feature and it actually was slightly faster on the way up...Your car has nothing wrong with it. There are 4 of these at my work place and all operate the same....
do i hear potato launcher? lol its just showing that every aspect of an audi screams speed and performance :D

I think the Mercedes Benz C Class has the same problem. I popped the trunk and it nearly hit me!
