Hi all,
My mk5 boot is doing a strange thing where some days it will work and some days it wont. I've only had it for a month and the garage I bought it from had the boot switch fixed before I bought it. I took it back there and they checked it all out from the switch to the wires running through the car to the central module and couldn't find anything.
They just recommended I take it to a VW garage and get them to do some diagnostics on the central module but I was wondering if anyone here had any ideas?
Everything else on the car is working perfectly it's just this electric boot switch (again it opens on the manual latch inside). I've never really messed around with the electronics in a car (have only had mk2s up until now) so not really sure where to start with the helpful posts on the previous page :S)
I was also wondering, I've heard you can reprogram the key fob to open the boot, could that be a work around option?
Thanks in advance!
