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,

  • '09 Touareg Remote Boot Release.

    Hi everyone,

    One of my friends has an '09 Touareg V6 TDI and I played around with it the other day and noticed that the switch on the drivers side door for the boot release does nothing. The same thing happens if you press and hold the boot release button on the key fob, that being nothing. Any ideas?

    Thank you,

    Alex

    Check the mfd control menus , think I saw something regarding boot opening and unlocking.

      Thanks, I looked at the menus but I couldn't see anything about the boot.

        Unless you have the remote opening boot option (that has an additional switch on the inside lower drivers side boot door) you will find that what you have found is the release switch inside the vehicle that only allows you the release/unlock function.
        On the key the boot opening botton (centre one) will allow you to unlock just the boot if the car is locked, when you close it again it will then lock.

          Ok, yes I thought that might be the case. Thank you.
