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?

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,

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
2011 Skoda Octavia Scout now with Underground Performance tune
2010 Jetta 125 tdi dsg for the misses - Impressed
2006 Polo GTI - Enhanced by some of Gav's magic - Absolutely loving it
