Hi Guys and help.
I recently bought a VW passat 2000 MY estate clunker out of necessity and have problemss. Sadly the forums I have tried aren't anywhere as near as helpful or active as here has always been so I thought I would try you guys.
Basically I bought the car 2 days ago and there was no problem on the second day I cant get the boot open at all. Neither with the fob or the key in the boot lock. As I bought it for the boot this is a disaster.
The car has a squarish 2 button flip key fob with a tiny button between the two big ones (at least I think its a button?)
I don't have any user guides and cant find any pdf's online. It may simply be me being stupid and not knowing how the fobs supposed to work or I have pressed a button in the car over riding the lock or something? but here's where I am anyway.
One click opens the drivers door
A second click opens the passenger and rear doors but not the boot
I cant find a manual lever or button to open it
A key in the boot lock or other doors wont open it
I found some info which suggested the vertical / horizontal position of the boot key slot (with the key out) might matter but so far doesnt seem to?
Any help even basic instruction on fob use or button in the car use would be very much appreciated, or any user guide or manual links.
Thanks in advance guys :thumbs:
