jasonjason Posted June 27, 2004 Report Share Posted June 27, 2004 I have a 2000 Passat Saloon, central locking works except the boot....There isnt any sign of it locking or unlocking either. Any Ideas on what to check or any wiring diagrams before I condem it Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonjason Posted June 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 Got the boot lock sorted, motor stuck in the out position a squirt of oil did the trick.The lock was also siezed so i couldnt lock it with the key a bit of white spray grease freed it. Hope this helps somebody ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dibley Posted July 12, 2004 Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 Hi, I had the same problem a few weeks ago. However, the lock actuator was jammed open and no amount of oil / leverage would shift it! I guessed the motor was knackered to I tentatively rang my dealers parts dept to find out how much the replacement was... and to my surprise... it was less than £10 inc vat! It's a bit tricky to fit (I recommend referring to the Haynes manual), but I got it done within 3 hours in the lashing rain I had to use a junior hacksaw blade to cut the old actuator arm off as it was stuck fully open, but aside from this drastic action the only problem I had was getting the lock barrel lined up when re-fitting. TAKE MY ADVICE.... MARK IT's LOCATION BEFORE YOU TAKE IT OUT!!! Otherwise you will spend ages wondering if it will lock when it's unlocked... unlock when it's locked.... not lock at all... flap open.....etc!! According to my dealer this is a very common fault, so I asked him if I could have the part for free... he frowned and told me to p**s off!!
