Press once to unlock then use the badge to open.
Press and hold to pop slightly then open using the badge to lift.

Yep sorry press an hold second nature now lol

Just thinking about this. I take it at any speed the button on the remote doesn't work?
It's one thing accidentally popping your boot at low speeds. It would be another to accidentally hit the button at low speeds and your boot pops up!!

Sounds like this has happened to you before, how? 

The key buttons don't operate whilst the car is in motion.

Hi there,

No it hasn't happened to me but I was just wondering if it could happen in motion?...I did think you wouldn't be able to accidentally do it though...Only had the GTI two days..lol

Interesting link to the thread on the R site. Not sure I'm happy to "touch up" when swapping the ball pins to be honest?

Hmmm...? Bugger!

Now I've noticed that when I open the boot with the remote it's not actually opening it without pressing it several times. I press the button, then hold the button down. And it looks and sounds like it's opened. But then when I try and open it by pulling at the bottom edge of the boot (not the badge), it's like on the latch still and not unlocked. So I have to keep pressing it until it releases. Am I doing something wrong?

Not much point in doing this mod if the boot doesn't actually release??

I never knew the boot pops slightly if you hold the button.
Only had the car a year and a half
And a mk6 for a year and a half before that

Now I could be wrong, but I think you need to use the vw badge to release the catch once you've unlocked it via the key button (regardless of whether you press once or press and hold).  It won't release if you unlock with button and try to lift from edge of boot.  At least that's the way it is with mine, same as yours.

It is puzzling though as people have done the boot pop mod so there must be a workaround

I think if you were to press an hold and pull up stright away like the mid does it would work otherwise mine works the same as yours
