Boot not opening
« on: 25 October 2011, 17:34 »
Has any body else had the boot not open when using the VW badge handle?

It is unlocked but takes anywhere from 1-5 goes of pulling hte handle before it opens. The key fob opens it every time.

Currently booked in for warranty inspection bust just wondering if anybody else had this?

Do you have a rear view camera?
This happened to mine once, total anomaly which thankfully has never returned.
I have the RVC in mine but don't know if that is significant or not.

No, just the plain boot opening - no camera.

Perhaps a weights session down the gym? :-)

At least it does go after several attempts else you'd be pulling the supermarket shopping through the hatch or folding the rear passengers down.  :laugh:

After unlocking, if I can't open with the handle, the boot-opener button on the key fob works every time.

Car has spent the day in the workshop and they have phoned to say that they have fixed the issue but that there is a bigger problem - my car crashes their diagnostic equipment every time that it is plugged in. They have never seen anything like it but cannot run diagnostics.

Bit worrying!
