B6 Estate Tailgate - arrrrhhh!

[deejay]

Hi All,

First post on here, so please be gentle ;)

I have a 2008 2.0 passat Estate and having problems with the tailgate.

When the car is unlocked and get in to drive off the tailgate opens. The only way to keep it shut is to get out and lock the car - then unlock (once) jump in and start the car then lock the car via the drivers internal lock.
If I forget to do that, the tailgate pops open!!

Also when I have the tailgate open (loading stuff) the lock on the tailgate is forever opening and closing.
Also the drivers button to open the tailgate (next to the fuel flap) does not seem to work.

Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave
