Assistance wanted......

My tailgate on 2015 octavia scout had been playing up. It often only opens by about 30cm before stopping. It's the same if I use the remote, the dash button or the tailgate button. Works about half the time.

First I replaced the struts. No change.

Now I have replaced the latch. No change, but I can now see a related fact: when it opens correctly the powered "close it tight" latch moves immediately as the hatch starts to open.

When it fails, this "close it tight" latch opens after a delay or not at all.

see the videos for one good (https://youtu.be/8ARv9X4-zNk)  and bad scenario https://youtu.be/OcXeAglfhNk.

So I'm now thinking that it's either a computer, or sensor or relay problem. I can hear a relay in the left test panel, but have not yet pulled the panel off to investigate.

Any thoughts or similar experience and solution?

Hi

I have similar problems with my Skoda Oktavia from 2018. Did you find any resolution to your problem?

No, not yet but I have at least found out at the fault code is "Hall Effect sensor". Now this is inside the strut, and I replaced the strut so I am feeling strongly it is a fault in the electrics: probably a dry joint on a circuit board.  

Does anyone know which boards are in the left hand rear panel?

 

thanks

Andrew
