Hi,

Thanks.

I noticed a problem with my 2018 Octavia i just bought, but maybe I'm doing something wrong?

When you try to open the trunk with the key, what you see in the video happens. It only happens with the key and not the handle, and you can never reproduce the error twice in a row. You have to let the car stand for a while.

Got the exact same error on mine.
Mostly when it´s warmer outside like now. Works most of the times in the winter.

Have an error on the hall sensor in one of the struts.
Don´t know exactly what this do or measure/controls.

Have a strange sound from both of the struts but as long as they work I will just let it be.

Start to think it has something to do with the pin it lockes against (in the both opening and not on the tailgate.
It makes a small movement when opened/closed.
Maybe if it´s delayed or doesn´t move fast enough to find correct position quick enough.

The dealership changed it on goodwill since i just bought the car. It was a sensor of some sort.
