Passat B7 ESTATE can't open the boot

Post by Raf Welsh Passat »

Saturday evening went shopping, put few back in the boot, all good.
Got back home, got everything out, no issues at all, and to add, there was no signs of any issues coming.
Sunday morning, went to the car, drove 2 miles, got out, opened the boot but noticed that it made funny whirring kinf of noise, as if it was a car socket 12V little air compressor pump.
Thought nothing of it.
But as sson as I tried close it, it didn't happen. Lock wouldn't latch, or catch :esm
Opened it again, tried close it, nothing.
Only when I actually SLAMMED the boot, it locked.
When to supermarket, it opened again as normal with that funny noise, but it wouldn't close again.
Again, gave it a SLAM down, closed.
Went home, can't open the boot anymore :-s

I've recorded the noise it makes.

Now I understand that to investigate further, to carry any repair, I need it opened, but the problem is, I can't open it.
Is there any way to open the boot?

Remote does nothing, so does the door boot open button.



ANY SUGGESTION appreciated :-bd

Hoping to have it sorted soon :sad:
