Boot Popping..........

[JStav]

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!

Is there a link for the info, on the boot pop. How to code it correctly

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.

That doesn't sound good as I am planning on doing this mod this week.

As above, you will sort the coding eventually, but its very hit and miss.  

Could do with stronger struts tbh….although like some have mentioned it will work alot better with the bump stop springs pulled out more.  

Only trouble with this is, to get my boot to pop every time I need em quite far out. This means when the boot is shut, it doesnt sit flush anymore.  


I think Tfsi-Mike mentioned some custom gas struts, you can get made to whatever pressure you want?

Maybe a group-buy is in order?

^^^^ We will leave the GB up to you then Carlo! Do like mine (when its warm and "popping")

I guess I cant just walk into a vw garage then and ask for them to supply and fit this mod then

Thats the guide I will be using but JStav has done the same coding as listed in there and it didn't work. Will wait and see what happens when I do it.

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

Im not sure then,  I had Eddie-NL code mine so not sure if the coding from the ECS Tuning guide is correct or not.

TBH, if the cost isn't prohibitive, I may be up for that!

found this but it looks a lot more expensive and also the letter ( D ) on the pump stops is replaced with a (C) is it the same parts ?
