Hi, i have been happy with my brand new Scout , 2.0 TDI , 184 hp DSG since a few days ago when electric boot lod stopped working . It locks , unlocks from all buttons ( key , interior and boot lid button ) but it doesn't lift and comes down. I have to open and push it back manually which is very difficult . I took it back to the dealer under warranty and they coudn't find the problem. They told me they checked the wiring and all possible and there is some error but don't know what it is and they don't have similat electric boot lid from other car so they can compare the measurements made.

They are waiting from the factory answers. I think it will take a lot of time . Did anyone have the same problem ?

I must add that when i first press the button to open i can hear a long beep then when i open it manually i can hear multiple beeps . They are different in tonality as normal beeps as you open it from the button on the key

There was a thread a while back about electric boot struts leaking oil and occasionally failing. Perhaps search for that one and/or check for oil on the struts.

Mine leaked oil and rattled quite bad while driving but still worked fine, there were replaced under warranty though.

Thanks for ideas. But the car is new. It is possible the struts to have no oil ? I didn't notice any oil on the struts meantime...is it something i cand do to reset the system ? I have to mention that this malfunction happened after a few days of very cold weather ( -15 degrees C ) but during that days the system worked.

The guys from the dealer checked everything as they told me and they said but not very sure about it that there is no commamd from the central unit . It is possible that some sensor that signal there is something in the way so it commands the unit not to work ? Something about the force limiter ?
