VAG DE-Lock kit

Is the boot lock seizing a common fault then? I'd not heard of this one before?

Every golf I have owned has had a seized boot lock.

I must be lucky

 I thought I best check my boot lock after I delocked the car the other day.
 The key goes in and turns ok, the lock was vertical which lets the boot work with the C/L. I can turn it horizontal to stop it working with the C/L and it will turn another 1/8th turn clockwise.
 Problem is, when I lock the car on the fob I can't open the boot with the key?? Which way does it turn to open it?

Log Book says:
Lock set upright - tailgate can be opened with CL
Lock set flat - tailgate permanently locked
Turn to left 10 o'clock - tailgate can be opened mechanically

Ok, thanks. Will give it a go tomorrow

Finally got round to having another try of the boot lock.
 If I unlock the car on the fob I can lock the boot manually with the key and unlock it, If I lock it with the fob I can't unlock it with the key, the key does turn ok? Is it something to do with a deadlock?
