Hatch release not working off the fob ?
« on: April 10, 2015, 07:43:16 am »
Hi, still working through the little annoying things that are not right or just not working, have got to the rear hatch, it wont't open off the fob button, I have tried both of them, the light illuminates so the fob appears to be sending the signal but nothing happens, easy fix ?
Thanks for your help

Think you might have to activate it with VCDS. The a what was needed to get mine working.


So much for keeping it standard!

Has to be modified to lift up. All the button does as standard is unlocks the boot, you still have to open it yourself....
