Hi Everyone, I have a 1.6 TDi. The DPF won't regen. I have a check engine light on, and the coil light flashes. error codes P018300 fuel temperature sensor A circuit high P164E00 oil pressure regulation valve electrical malfunction Garage said they can change the fuel temp sensor, but they say they don't know which oil pressure valve to change. They recommended me go find an auto electrician to figure out what to do. Does that sound right? Isn't there just one oil pressure regulation valve? I hope you can help me with my problem! Cheers, choclit

The locking mechanism was the problem. Now I don't know what caused the problem, so it might jam again, but I will say what I did which seems to have fixed it. There's a little white box fixed *on to the side* of the opening mechanism which is fixed on by two posi screws. You can open this one up by unscrewing both screws, and then prising it open using a screwdriver. Some care needed as it is snapped shut with plastic tabs. Inside the white box is a motor, which makes a noise when it turns (for me it wasn't making the noise, so we knew it wasn't working). When the motor turns, it turns a white plastic cog which either pulls out or pushes in a pole. This is what unlocks/locks the door. When it's locked the pole is fully out, when it's unlocked the pole is fully in. Mine was jammed fully out. I turned the cog back and forth. I pulled/pushed the pole back and forth. Then put it in the fully in position, properly unlocked. Put everything back together. Boot door works as good as new, better than it did before! (If anyone encounters any other problems with the boot lock, you can also take off the big white plastic cover in the middle. This white plastic cover is fixed on by two tabs either side. You can prise it off with a screwdriver. Once this is off you can even take out the whole door lock by unscrewing the T30 and T40(maybe bigger) screws too. I broke a T40 short bit undoing these, so either take care or don't use cheap bits!)

My story continues! I fixed one major leak, then found out two minor ones... But I can't open my boot now! Hence the thread... I have a '02 hatchback. Today I can't open the boot the normal way! I do not know whether the "locking mechanism" isn't working, or whether the "opening mechanism" isn't working, or whether a fuse has gone. I can and have opened the boot from the inside by taking off the plastic rectangle. Everything looks fine, so it's gotta be something electrical? Could the fuse have blown? If so, any ideas which one it is? That would be the easiest fix. What else could it be?
