I've got a 2009 Passat sedan and the boot no longer flips open, it will open when you click the remote, but won't raise. I'm guessing the struts need replacing? Is this a tricky job? And I'm guessing the struts ain't cheap?

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.

I replaced the gas struts on my old Mk V Jetta, parts sourced from ECS tuning.
Also try lubricating the hinges, this may help free up the motion.WLF127 -

I replaced the struts on the hatch my Polo GTI recently. Search for the Gas Strut Guy on EBay I think it was or Gumtree. Cost about $37.00 for the pair delivered. Very easy to remove and fit. A mate recommends them as well.2001 Bora 4 Motion Sport now used by number two son
