wow - thank you sir - your service is better than vw lol
I assume everyones keys have the boot symbol in the middle button position,,,, was trying to press it in multiple different ways when I bought the car, thought it must do something lol,,, now I understand.
I will buy the parts on the part numbers you supplied
my car is an 08, does that make a difference and can I fit this myself ?
also any ideas how much I should pay someone for the coding alone
many many thanks to you sir  

Yes, just a generic key. Tis nice to be able to use it, always eats noticed in car parks when you "pop" it from a distance and peeps look round!  

You can get all the parts from your local TPS, or VW for the VW parts and Skoda for the struts. It's a 2 min job to code so hopefully a kind forum member should only charge you a few beer tokens.

Am looking at the strut part number now and its C. Prices were correct as off 2 months ago.

Martin beat me to it 

If you press the boot button now it will just pop the boot onto the first latch. (just unlocking the boot and leaving the other doors locked.)

Once you fit the new parts, you need it coding so that it bypasses the latch. Therefore when you press the boot button it will pop straight open.

Where abouts are you from Stacy?

Im sure there will be a friendly forum member not too far away that can help with coding

ha ha nice one guys 
I am up in inverness just now until house gets finished in Peterculter so have to drive down every 2 days for work in Aberdeen sigh
anyway its only temporary and 2 weeks of for xmas so not to bad
out of curiosity if I walk into vw and ask how much to supply and fit what do you think they will say 

[MC71]

As mentioned, VW may not be able to supply the Skoda parts (2 of my local VW dealers will not). It's a 10 minute job to fit, follow the instructions from my previous post, then its just coding. Have heard a story of a member being quoted £100 to just simple code this mod, incredible, and daylight robbery!!

Shame too far for me

VW don't seem to want to supply the Skoda parts. I got all the parts for a Skoda dealer on ebay. The prices were a bit more than listed by Martin but more convenient and good service

Email them with the part numbers.

I have the revision 'D' pump stops, I assume they are an updated version.

[MC71]

^^^^ 

Am looking through ETKA and still can't see the D revision, update is needed there I think.

Go with the D revision Stacy. I shall amend my original post on part numbers so I don't confuse peeps (any further)

 

[stacy-t-]

thanks for that gentleman, I have pmd the e-bay member for price / availability and also query on the revised ( D ) part number
bet he says £100 but will see lol 

[Baz300]

TPS in Aberdeen will also sell you the parts, I have been in a few times and had no problems with them

Just fitted all my parts today and got it coded.  Doesn't work 

Checked box 3 on byte 2 of the 46 control module and the boot just locks.  The fob couldn't open it and either could the button on the drivers door. 

Turn the check box back off and the click save, the boot flies open, but just works as previous.  Absolutely gutted!

Don't be gutted.
Mine didn't work with the standard VCDS instructions either...  do you have an early version car?
I forget which bits and bytes worked but it's close to above in the same 46 control module.  It will work.

Also, even after it's coded up... it doesn't work great in cold weather.  Pretty hit and miss.

Yeah mine is an 05, didn't realise there was a difference in coding.  Shame you can't remember the coding you did, would have been an early xmas present ha!    Will have to try and give it another go sometime, guess it's going to be a case of trial and error.

Thanks for that I'll give it a go!

The ebay one quoted me £67.99 inc p&p for all the parts btw.

[andybon]

Take it if I just replace the pump stops it will just lift the bootlid slightly with coding?

I guess they're taking advantage of the demand for the kits, but I know VAG prices are going up again next week

Yeah that's how much I paid 2 weeks ago.
