[Gtiain]

Hi guys, Just seen this and it looks fantastic. Just wondered how expensive and how hard to do?

Have a shufty at this thread:

There's a video somewhere showing someone doing the conversion.  Looks pretty straight forward.

Hi
Easy to do, just make sure you can code your CCM to do it before spending on the parts.
Cost is about £55
A few things to consider
1. The boot will be much harder to close
2. In very Cold weather it sometimes struggles to open

I've done it to my car and love showing off at tescos

Thanks for that. Not seen this before and suprised not more people have it. Its so helpful.

You're welcome.  Deffo looks like one of the less expensive mods!

looks an easy and cool mod and not too expesive ,but any idea how much vw would charge to activate auto boot pop before buying parts t omake sure it works

[Gtiain]

I presume if it does stick you can open it manually without any problems?

[rich83]

It is a great mod... however it does make the boot lid fairly stiff to close!

Mine seemed to work 99% of the time!

[Gtiain]

Was this ever an option on gtis?

[rich83]

No that i'm aware

I did it on mine and had to take them off again as the missus struggled to shut the boot! Seeing as she has the car 98% of the time I had to give in on that one...

Ian I think what your thinking is the auto boot open/close function on some of the better VW/Audi models where you just press a button and it opens/closes,  it could be done but probably expensive,

The above is alot cheaper and easier to fit

I'm lost, so there's two differant ways? I'd like it so you press the boot button and it pops open like on the video.

Never seen this before really want it now! As we all have the button on the key why can't it just be vag-com coded why do we need new struts? What are the scirocco bumpers you talk of?

Great link and thread making me spend again!

[apollo13]

The boot 'pop' is just gained by changing the gas struts ect so when you use the boot unlock button they force the boot open, then you close it manually.

Darren was talking about the auto open and close you can get on audis mercs ect which I presume is a motor which opens and closes the boot.
