Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Opening Trunk Of 2004 GLS With Key
Can I use my key to open my trunk in the case of a dead battery? I disconnected my battery last night to try it out, but it wouldn't open. Some people say turn the key 50 degrees, but I don't think my key will turn that far. I was also scared of snapping the key off in the lock.

So my 04 GLS Jetta has had this issue for a while and I would like to find out why. If I pull the button for the trunk in the drivers door or press the button my key to open the trunk, nothing happens. The lights will flash when I press the button on the key but no sound comes from the trunk. Same goes for the trunk release button in the door. No sound. The only way I can open the trunk is to use the actual key and while I turn the key, I have to press down on the trunk. Turning the key alone will not open the trunk. It only opens when I press down on the trunk and turn the key.
Is this normal if the trunk release motor on the trunk goes out? I also have had the trunk open and did the button in the door and the key with nothing happening. How to troubleshoot this?
Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Key FOB Will Not Unlock Trunk
My key FOB only electronically unlocks/locks the doors it wont unlock the trunk and i can't actually use the key part to unlock the car or start the car. Is there a way to fix this besides getting a new key from a dealer since that is very expensive.

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: How To Remove Brake Booster
How do you remove the brake booster rod from the brake pedal? The damn rod won't separate from that plastic housing. I've tried wedging a flathead in there but it's hard to see. I've been fighting with it all evening and finally gave up before I end up breaking it.
Found a DIY that just cut the rod to pull the brake pedal to remove it. I rather not do that as I will be reusing the one I have.
Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Key Won't Fit The Trunk Or Back Seat Lock
I just purchased a used 01 Jetta GLS. It came with only 1 key and no fob. My key fits the door and ignition but does not seem to fit the trunk or the back seat lock that gives better access to the trunk. The fuel door switch works but the trunk release switch does not (no sound, haven't checked wires yet).

My latch wont open at all! When i first bought the car the trunk would open but Im not sure what had happened to it. The key doesn't work at all but every time I press the button on my key too open it or from the button on the floor it makes the noise that it unlocked but its still shut??!!?! Maybe I thought it was the fuse but I had changed fuse 15 still nothing any body experienced this before seems too be a common problem. Should I just go through the front and take the panels off for the hatch and diagnose whats wrong with it?

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: How To Remove Wiper Arms That Appear To Be Stuck On
I needed to get part numbers off of my TCM for my 2003 Jetta GLS 1.8T and thought that they were electrostatically welded on due to dissimilar metals. I ran into a retired friend that was a VW Tech for years and he told me that they are a tension fit to the shafts and the easiest way to remove is to grab the arm with your hand and press down towards the arm while lifting the area by the shaft.
I found a video on YouTube that shows this and it works : [URL] ....
Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Trunk Neither Opens Nor Shows Signal On Connector
I found trunk in 2003 GTi won't lock, and new actuator(motor) didn't, either. No signal on the connector when I press key fob switch, through rear light blink. I guess there would be another connector to this wire(green and blue) somewhere inside the passenger side C pillar.

2004 Mk IV Jetta 2.0
I thought it was the trunk actuator, so I ordered a new one. I thought this because when I hit the button to open the trunk, I heard a slight buzz (not the sound of the actuator extending) but the arm didn't push out.
When I hooked up the new one to the wire to test it out the same thing happened. I also tested both actuators with a 9V battery and they worked correctly. So, it's not a problem with the actuator itself, and I don't think it's a problem with the wiring since there is at least enough power coming through to cause a buzzing noise...so I don't know what else it could be.
Golf IV / Jetta IV :: 2003 - Floor Of The Trunk Compartment Is Plastic?
So when i open my trunk and look into the left, after i open that side hatch inside, the floor of the compartment is plastic. And then you can take the floor off.What is this for? It seems too small for a battery!

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Inside Trunk Light Won't Work Even After Replacement?
I just noticed the trunk (inside) light was out. So I replaced it and it still doesn't work. I put a 'test light' on the pig tail and one side lights up so I guess there is power there. Once the' light holder' and lamp is in there it still doesn't work. Also when I put the 'test lamp' on one side of the metal holder the 'test light' lights up.
When I put it on the other side it makes the bulb almost glow like half voltage. What it could be? What is that resistor there for ?
Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Water Coming Into Trunk Via Vent Valves
I get a very small (between a teaspoon and tablespoon) amount of water coming in through my trunk vent valves when it rains heavy. I replaced them last week with new OEM ones thinking that was the problem because the old vents used the foam for the seal (new ones have rubber for the seal). I noticed that the water is coming in through the openings of the flaps for some reason. The water is not coming in through the seal of the vent valves at all. I also used silicone for that too just to be safe. Some how water is getting between my bumper and trunk and dripping down into the fabric flaps of the vents.

Mk IV Jetta. Central locking works fine. All other CCM functions are fine. Replaced CCM recently serial numbers match. When I hit the switch on the door nothing at all happens. When I use the key button the lights flash twice but no other activity. No broken wires between the body and the trunk lid. Actuator works when tested with a 9v battery.

View 6 RepliesGolf IV / Jetta IV :: Trying To Remove Double DIN Monsoon Unit But Stuck?
I tried to remove the double DIN monsoon unit using 4 OEM VW removal keys. The bottom went fine, the top they went all the way in. So after searching here and other forums, I know the tabs are bent. There were plenty of posts but not many were useful. I tried jiggling the radio around, angling the keys in trying to catch and even pulled the trim from around the radio to see if I could slide something in.
One post said he got it out by pulling apart the whole dash to get at the cage, which I don't want to do. The other said he brought it to the dealer and they could get it out but destroy it. I'd be willing to give that a shot to get this thing out, but not sure how to even go about it.
