Hi Mikehp1. How did you get on when you took your car in on the 27th?

Hi because of illness its been a while since chatting , update to the electric tailgate cant remember if l said it was a motability car but never minde at long last the problem is sorted all due to Carl at motability. The tailgate on my Superb 3 sel exec estate will not close off the keyfob and will only if fitted with kesse this is the case with all sel execs, but this info is not the brochure not even the sales people new its only in the cars manual that comes with the car. l was told by the garage manager {who was rather surly} to go and sort it my self,I contacted motability where l was introduced to Carl this guy fought skoda Gb and Trust skoda group.ln the end {nine months} the dealership moved the swith from the tailgate to the righthand lower side panel great job wle don at last. lf it had not been for Carl the switch would still be in the tail and the car would have gone back to skoda for not fit for purpose ,l am told this mod would cost about £150 + vat.To close the boot / tailgate from inside the car would require the software to be updated this cost a lot.

My Superb had a new file loaded into the controller using VCP, and the boot now opens AND closes from both the fob and the button in the console. Total cost: £5 to the chap who had VCP. 

Mine has been massive drama over 1 year now , problems initially when it closed on something I  transported.it closed on it , an kept the pressure on trying to close it.  It damaged the underside of the lid ...things went downhill .the dealer would not fix , Skoda want 400 just to diagnose. Now it's hurting my back to open and close it . Noone wants to touch the problem
