Hi all. Sorry if this is an unhelpful post but I wondered if someone might help me out (or at least help me understand!). 

 

Background

Earlier this year I bought a 65 reg Octavia Scout (diesel). I contacted half a dozen dealers asking if they could activate CarPlay for me, and since not one bothered responding... I bought a solution through eBay! Since it required a little fiddling with an OBDII scanner I bought one of those as well and used Car Scanner to finish the job. It worked and I was emboldened to fiddle with a few things using the app. (nothing major: just sound settings etc.). Now, all that may or may not be wholly unrelated to my problem...

 

Problem

My boot has gone crazy! When I press the button on the fob it opens about 10cm and then closes again and locks! It does the same using the buttons on the boot and inside the car. I've tried resetting the boot height but that doesn't do anything. I've used the long coding option in Car Scanner to look at the settings for 6D (Boot Lid) but of course I've no idea what the bits correspond to or what they should be! And hence my question...

 

Question

Can anyone suggest a course of action (other than taking it to a dealer, who'll probably get annoyed with me for messing with the ECU despite not bothering to respond to my calls/emails)? 

 

Thanks in advance!

Did you take a full scan of the car including adaptations and coding before you began?

 

If so, compare the two and revert the settings you’ve changed.

 

What fault codes are stored across the car?

Hi. Thanks for the response. I did reverse what I’d done, but this consistent behaviour (it now always opens a little and then closes immediately) occurred afterwards without any intervention on my part!

 

Just cleared the old codes and opened the boot from the dash control. Got these errors:
