Incase anyone is following this, I got it fixed! The latch mechanism attached to the "5th door" was knackered. The impact must have destroyed it's internals. The part is not very serviceable either. I bought a new one from my local dealer, £75. I removed the boot liner and replaced the mechanism. It's held in with two nuts so a very easy fix.

Hello, So someone who won't be named shut my Skoda 1.6tdi s boot with a bit of extra force today. The boot is not an electric open, just a simple release mechanism. The boot then refused to open. I did eventually get it opened by having someone press the release button while I lay inside the boot and pushed. Now when the book is close, the boot is shown to be open on the cars computer and the boot lights remain on. I have removed the lights to stop wear on the battery. The boot does not lock and there is a bit of play when pulling on it but it does not open without being pushed from the inside. The electric motor noise is still present. Is there a simple fix to this, or do I need a new mechanism? Thanks

Thought so too but I read that the 1.6 TDI is single mass. Not sure on this though. Clutch operation seems fine, no clunk on turning off ignition

Hello folks, I bought a 2016 Superb 1.6 TDI, all is well except for a buzzing vibration noise that seems to be resonating from the passenger side at 2k revs until about 3k. The sound is not always present but is there more often than not. I have read of similar issues on Octavias. It's quite annoying but I'm guessing it's not mechanical and just something loose getting annoyed at that particular frequency. Has anyone experienced this and know of a fix? I tried recording the sound but my **** phone mic cannot pick up the sound too well however it is clearly audible.
