Hello all,

I've just bought a Superb2 FL Combi, and it seems that the trunk only opens when I press the button on the key.

This is rather upsetting, because I have to get the key out of the ignition and unlock it.

I've checked on the MFD but couldn't find an option there (only selective unlock driver door / all doors).

Also I've looked with the VCDS 17 of a friend on the central electrics but couldn't find the option there.

Any of you encountered this issue ?

Here is a autoscan of the car, and it seems that the central conv is only virtual, as i cannot access it.( I've read that it is integrated in the central electrics).

Thanks !

You should update your VCDS to the latest version: https://www.ross-tech.com/vcds/download/current.php

 

As for your problem, the boot handle has probably failed. You should check it and replace if needed

Maybe I've explained it wrong. All the doors are locked, i press the button on the door to unlock it, but the trunk is still locked, and after i press the trunk-unlock button on the key, it unlocks it and then i can press the boot handle button to actually open it. So the button on the boot still works, the central electric probably just won't unlock it.

Will check on the update with the vcds

If you want to open the trunk using the key (as in, you want the trunk to pop-up by pressing the key) then you need to keep the key pressed for a few seconds (a short press will unlock the trunk but won't open it). If the gas struts in the trunk are worn out (common problem) then the trunk will never pop-up (it'll just barely open). Changing the
gas struts is easy enough.

 

Apologies if I've misunderstood the problem you're having.

Thanks, but this isn't the issue. What you described is what i am currently doing, but i want to press the unlock button on the door panel and simply go to the boot, press the bootlach and open it. 

The issue is that the boot stays locked all the Time, and only unlocks via key buton for boot. If i unlock the car with the unlock button from the key, the boot Will still be locked. I suspect it is software related, but i ca not find the option. 

My 2011 Estate superb unlocks the boot when i press the unlock button on the door panel or the unlock buton on the key. Hopefully, now i managed to clear the issue that i am having. 

Are you short double pressing the unlock button on the door?

 

For mine one press unlocks the drivers door and double press unlocks everything else.

Yeap, also tried that, with duble triple and so on... But it stays locked... 

There is a common fault with these superbs, that the wiring running up the LHS of the boot lid gets damaged and causes the boot lid handles to become unresponsive. Does your boot close assist still function as normal?
