hey everyone! VW Newbie here. I have a Passat 2011 wagon and the hood latch cable broke off

I did manage to open the hood via the center badge removal. I got a new front latch cable but I cant find instructions as to how to install it. Where should the cable run through? Behind the radiator...

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,

So...

Even with a set of pry tools I am finding it difficult to remove the hatch liner to gain access to the latch mechanism so that I can replace it. Any clues? I think that I must have to remove the whole hatch panel to do it. . Any help from anyone close to Maroochydore would be appreciated if you have...

Hi All,
Very infrequent poster, long time owner of a Mk5 1.9 Diesel Comfortline.

I've removed the boot latch as I think it's faulty. The boot won't latch closed, but the switches activate as normal.
I thought the spring or motor but I can't see an obvious fault.

Hi all,
Our van is a 3 litre version. The bonnet latch has detached itself at the bonnet end. no problem I googled it with with the general consensus being remove the engine underbody , reach up with a piece of metal and you can unlatch it. Well those instructions must have been for the TDI...

I have a Golf V GT Sport 2008, and my rear boot latch is not working, nor is my rear wiper and water sprayer. I thought of replacing the latch, but believe it may be something to do with the wiring? I would really appreciate any advice any members may be able to provide, or suggestions as to what it...

Hi all, anyone know if the catch/latch for the tailgate can be adjusted to pull it down a little firmer? My tailgate has begun vibrating a little, usually as i drop back to idle & the rev's slow through around 1000rpm.

I have resorted to folding a microfibre cloth in half, placing...

The tailgate latch of my 2008 Passat TDI Wagon failed this morning. Now I can't open the trunk door. How can I open it manually from the inside? Thanks.

Hi everyone, so as the title describes the inevitable has happened.... I have had a quick google/ebay to find a replacement. Has anyone had their latch break and replaced it? To be honest I want to change the lid to leather trimmed anyway. Any suggestions of a replacement that someone has used? Or has...
