Hi! Having strange behaviour on my Octavia 2014 estate. The washer stops working on a longer trip after approx 15min from start. When the windshield washer stops working, then also the rear wiper and washer stops functioning. When you stop the car and engine, then it starts to work again! But stops again after 15secs. Anyone having the same symptoms?

Update on the road! After restart it works again, but stops working after 10sec break.

When you stop the car and engine, and start again, then it starts to work again!

This is fairly simple job! Gas struts from the regular Octavia without electric bootlid fits plug&play on the same bal-joints. 3T9827721 will plug the holes where the cables came out. Then you have to disconnect the cable to the lock mechanism-motor on the chassi (not the bootlid). And apply 12V to it so the motor pulls back the metal rod to locked position. After that you don't need to connect the cable back or else it will release the metal rod to open position which you don't want. Just let the cable be unplugged. You won't need that function anymore. After that your bootlid will lock flush! Otherwise your boot will rattle a bit and the alignment will be a bit off, but it will lock properly. Feed the 12V to the lock-motor it will be worth it! No need for any programming. It will beep like it did before and no warning lights will appear.

Mine goes down after doing that.

Mostly for the outrageous cost here in Sweden to replace them. So boot latch, ball joints? What's that part? Sorry for my bad English... And decode with VCDS? What happens if I don't decode? I don't mind if it keeps beeping...

Hi! I have an Octavia 2014 estate. The bootlid motors is not working properly. It opens up to the top, but then goes down 30%. Now I wonder how the conversion to gas struts will go? Will the closing mechanism work properly after that? Cheers!
