Hi

My boot lid has begun to behave irrational. Sometimes it works and sometimes not. About 90% of the times it opens when using the button between the front seats. 50 % of the times it opens using the handle or the remote. 90% of the times it doesn´t close...

 

Anyone know a solution to this?

Known fault - take it to your dealer - they replace the motors

 

Just had mine done !

Do you know the cost for this?

Yes, I can vouch for Skoda4x4man's comment. I had mine done too. Boot lid works fine now. All covered under warranty. 

I'm also having similar problems with my 2012 estate.

I use an independent workshop as the warranty is out.
 

After resetting the error-messages they had the boot opening and closing just fine. But when I collected it, it would only open properly. When closing it would only go 1-2 cm before stopping.

Mechanic thinks it's the safety-sensor that's the problem(an optical stepper-motor-sensor(similar to those in old computer mouses) I assume) -only motor #2 seems to be affected.

Is this something I can get to and see if I might be able to clean it out?
Anyone know where I might get the part at a decent price if it needs changing(I assume the part would be the whole trut)?

the cost to replace them in New Zealand is more than $1000! Suffice to say I hope the new ones last another 100,000kms.
