Octavia Estate boot keeps not opening when it's cold. It seems a bit sporadic too, sometimes it opens and then seems to get stuck. It shouldn't be doing this even in this weather should it? 

 

The car is under warranty, do you think I need to book it in? By the time I get it booked in it's unlikely I'll be able to reproduce the issue though..

They all do that to some extent.

 

Keeping the water channels clear and clean and making sure you use a Silica Rubber Lubricant for the rubber seals around the boot will lessen the problem.

When you say stuck, is it the struts sticking? If so I would talk to the dealer.

It's completely stuck and won't open, so I'll talk to the dealer. I thought it might have been frozen, but seems not.

Failure of the electronic boot handle?

It's working again, what a wind up.
