Polo Boot refuses to open!

[flat6]

Has anyone else had any issues with the boot on the polo refusing to open? You always find yourself at the shopping center trying to get shopping in the boot, unlock the car, and the boot refuses to budge! then sometimes its ok..

Found myself in this situation at least a dozen times now, girlfriends polo has the same exact issue..

Only way around it is to lock the car, wait a minute or two, then try again, until its willing, you will not get the boot open..

Anyone know of a solution to this

Cheers and Merry Christmas

Do you need to double press the button to unlock both doors?

I have mine set to open both doors with one press, so the boot is always unlocked at that time.

I did mine with VCDS I don't believe there's another way.

Spray some WD40 up into the locking mechanism. It might just be gummed up and not releasing

I just use the key when the handle is not working
Somehow the boot handle is using wire to control the lock not mechanical
Weird design

Noticed the rear boot handle gets a lot of dirt behind it, hosed all the crap out and sprayed some wd40 into the lock mechanism, no jams so far

Hi flat6,was the abovementioned part (1t0962103) your problem,dit this fix the 'intermittent fault'.I am having the same issues with my 2013 polo Vivo GT 1.6.The boot lid wil have a 'no respond' issues every now and then.To climb into the back of a 2 door vivo is not that easy!!

Yes pick up that part from your local VW dealer and pull the plastic lining off the hatch, its a simple clip in replacement. Boot has been opening perfectly for about 6 years now. Probably due to replace it again soon haha

resurecting this, trying to get the part # for the following piece that i broke on the hatch

Blue circle is what i need the part # for.....the plastic dongle thing that clips in the actuator arm...



also the red bit does this just 'pull' out.?

thanks, any ideas on how i get the little white plastic piece in blue circle part#.? i am going to try and pull the microswitch out (again) it is hard to see how it pulls out

[lenny]

improvised with cable ties for the interim, pulled the micro switch assembly and hitched it up higher to try and engaged the connections better
