Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • Help with electric tailgate ("rear hatch") kit

    I bought this kit from Aliexpress, have installed it, love it, but I have one problem.

    There are 3 open close buttons – the tailgate VW emblem, a switch on the steering column, and the switch on the lip of the tailgate. He switches all work correctly


    I should be able to open and close the tailgate with my fob, but it will only close and not open.


    My car is a USA 2021 GTI. Later models such as this you are required to tap into the can bus wiring. That got me as far as being able to close the tailgate when open.


    The lights on the car blink in recognition of the pushing the tailgate button on the fob.

    I'm hoping that someone as installed one of these kits in can give me some guidance.


    It seems to me that, if the tailgate can be closed with a fob, it should also open because the function is electrical toggle. I'm wondering if the controller may be defective
