Hey everyone,
I’m considering the option of sleeping in the back of my 2018 Passat Alltrack for road trips and long drives. I’ve done this before in my Touareg and later in my 5 Series, both of which worked well—the Touareg’s rear seats folded almost flat, while the 5 Series had a completely...

Hi all,

Could use some help to troubleshoot what's preventing my boot from unlocking/opening.

I removed the boot plastic cover and after having a look at the system:

- VW logo doubles doubles down as a switch. When I push the VW logo, the white bite rotates and...

There's a bit of annoying cost cutting in the new ROC, like no aircon in the glovebox and no cig socket in the boot.

So I want to run a 15l fridge in the boot on forthcoming road trips. The fridge only requires 40W, or less than 4 amps.

Does anyone know of any unused...

Having just purchased our Tiguan 2018 I have been having a close look around it and also have updated the Navigation software and applied a 3M paint protection film product to the door sills and boot sill. It's a lovely drive and we are very pleased so far.
While doing the boot sill film, I noticed...

I have a 2012 Golf GTI and when I installed a popup reverse camera I found out I couldn't unlock or open the boot unless I held down the boot release button on the fob or had the car key turned in the injection. And ideas for how to fix this?

Partner closed the boot hard yesterday and there was a sound like something breaking. The boot has to be held open now - spring/s and or gas strut/s must be broken or detached. I'm assuming I'll have to remove the boot side panel trim on both sides to access the mechanism? Has anyone got any tips...

Due to upcoming medical problems I have to part with my Tiguan

Added a (genuine) carbon fiber boot sill protector.

It's made by a Polish brand called Avisa and available on Amazon. They do door sill protectors too - I have some rear ones on order, but having trouble finding...

Hi guys, I've taken my 2007 Golf V 2.0 FSI to the shop to get the timing belt + water pump replaced.

Then I realised that the rego was due for renewal soon so I asked him to also do a pink slip.
He just messaged me that both side inner CV boot rip leaking.
And he's suggesting...

Having issues with the reverse camera and boot wont open on pressing the boot badge on Passat 09 cc.

Boot will open from boot release switch on drivers door panel.


Found the three broken wires in the boot area where the wiring harness comes out of the inner boot...

On a number of occasions now (inconsistently and sometimes when car locked) while driving, the boot latch has been releasing (to the first stage of the release as if you’d pressed the remote button). Thankfully it doesn’t unlatch completely.

Any ideas on what causes this? I’m stumped....

EDIT: I'm an idiot, and didn't realise there was a key press sequence, please ignore



Hi All,

Wondering if anyone has come across this particular issue before. Did some searching, couldn't find much, thought I'd ping the brains trust.

So...

Hi everyone,

Having boot issues with my Tiguan 2009 model.

Boot is locked and both the handle and boot fob button make a whirring noise when trying to open.
Can do a manual release from inside the boot and then successfully close/lock the boot again.

Hi all, have just picked up a secondhand 2018 Arteon yesterday. Very happy boy. I upgraded from a 2011 V6 Passat Highline and I'm amazed by how much quicker the Arteon is - on paper they appear very similar, but the Arteon trounces it. Either it's been tuned already (I bought it from a dealer) or my...

Hi all,

My wife and I put an order in for a Tiguan Life MY22 back in August 2021, with expected delivery around March. We’ve recently been updated that delivery may not be until June 2022, which is just after the birth of our first child (that’s another fight we have to take up with...
