Hi I have just bought a B8 estate, seemed perfect til I opened the tailgate! I thought they all had electric closure, well it appears mine doesn't and being quite short I cannot close the tailgate! Had to get a passer by to close it for me. Any ideas anyone please?

Hi all! So, I've been shown the final missing link to my 'tailgate unlocked with all doors / tailgate operation via remote' coding mod: A pair of springs that install on the tailgate gas springs, which will (effectively) give you a power-lift tailgate. Pretty cool, eh? The product...

2002 Passat GLS wagon 1.8t 5-speed. I need some replacement metal clips for my lower liftgate trim. Can someone assist me in providing a part number?

When I opened my wagon/estate tailgate last night the motor made a horrible noise - like it was not engaging properly but it still opened. When it reached the closed position the tailgate bounced and although you could hear the the mechanism trying to engage it was not latching - you could lift...

Hi Been trying to get the warning light off for the past 2 weeks with no luck. Can anyone tell me if the microswitch near to the keyhole on the tailgate is the one that gives the tailgate open message on the dashboard. Thanks

Hi all, Thanks for letting me join. I'm a 50 yr old man trying forums out for the first time so please be patient and kind :P I have a 2013 Passat Estate Highline and today the tailgate lock stopped working. When the release button is used on the tailgate there is a rapid clicking sound which i...

Hi I will try and post this twice here and then maybe I need to do it somewhere else. Not sure how this works. We have a 2004 passat estate and since getting the car have always had to open the boot with the key. Can't use the switch on the drivers door or the key fob. Recently the tailgate open...

Hi I getting grey haired... the tailgate on our B5 variant is leaking and nead to be changed. But the new hatch didn't have any handle left on it. Our handle is stuck really bad in the lock mechanic it self. Yes I have removed the square spring - its off. The lock is loose - but gets stuck in...

I've had my B7 estate for 3 years, 53,000 miles and I love it. However earlier this week while driving the open boot alert appeared on the dash and the interior light came on. I pulled over, opened and shut the boot. After a few minutes it happened again. Then it started doing it repeatedly...

Hey all. B5.5 4Motion wagon. The tailgate latch has been flakey, sometimes opening with the door switch, sometimes not. Sometimes opening with the remote botton, sometimes not. But it has always opened with the key. Tonight I had to use the key, and when I closed the hatch, the latch refused...

I have the exact issue detailed in this 4 year old thread , but it doesn't appear to be getting any replies, so i thought I'd post a new thread. My 2005 B5.5 has the following symptoms: On ignition, dashboard incorrectly tells me "luggage compartment open", "driver's door open" (UK, RHD), "rear...

Like many B5.5 wagon owners in the U.S. and Canada, VW's tailgate "logic" (if you can call it that....) drove me bonkers - having the tailgate always "locked" was, well, beyond annoying. So, I set out on a research project - and, I found out how to change it! With these changes, you can have...

So I realised that the electronic tailgate in my MY13 ALltrack is only partially working but I can't tell if it's by design - i don't think so however I can open it by the fob or the drivers door button, but i can only close it using the tailgate button. I think I'm meant to be able to close it...
