Passat (B5) :: Remote Or Release Lever Inside Do Not Pop The Trunk Open
The remote trunk release as well as the trunk release lever inside my 2001.5 GLS V6 do not pop the trunk anymore so I suspect the motor is gone. I took the trunk cover off and got to the motor. I can't tell from looking at the motor if it is bad or not but I suspect it is. How I can test this to see if it is bad?

I noticed something clunking around in the plastic piece that is on the trunk lid itself - the piece that covers the brake lights. When the trunk goes up or down, there is a distinct noise that is something rolling around in there.
I pulled off the access panel to get to the lights, but is does the rest of it just snap off if I pull at it or use a pry tool?
Passat (B6) :: Trunk Will Not Open By Itself
So my Passat 2.0T 4dr trunk will not open up on it's own.
When I press the trunk release button inside the car or on my key fob, the trunk latch releases but it will not fling up on its own.
How would I fix this? Do I spray WD40 on the latch bar??
I have bumper to bumper warranty on the car....Do I just take it to the dealers or is this something I can fix? Will the stealership try to charge me for this work?
Passat (B7) :: 2012 SE - Cannot Get The Trunk Open
Packed my car with luggage in the trunk got to my destination and I can't get the trunk open. From the trunk itself to the release on the door to the button on the remote nothing will open it. I am screwed because I really need to open this trunk and no VW dealers are open.
View 10 RepliesPassat (B6) :: MFD Says Trunk Is Open But In Actual It Is Not
For the past couple of weeks I have been having some issues with my trunk. The MFD would say that the trunk is open when indeed it is not. With that happening the car will lock the doors but not arm with an audible beep and the door lock lights will flicker at the same time so would the trunk display on the MFD.
I found a fix by locking the trunk down with the valet key on the driver door by the trunk/gas buttons, that stopped the trunk display from lighting up and the car was no able to arm the alarm properly.
Now within 3 days the issue has come back up even with the trunk locked with the valet key. In order to get the car to arm properly I have to unlock the Trunk Switch , open the trunk, re close trunk and then re lock the trunk switch with the valet key.
Passat (B5) :: 2001 - Trunk Won't Open
My buddy just bought an '01 B5 1.8T 4Mo. He got a great deal on it and it only has 74k on the clock, but it seems as though the P.O. was a d-bag. There's a few cigarette burns on the upholstery and somehow the key fob looks like it was melted??
Anyways, since the key fob has melted, he must open the doors manually with the key. For some reason, the trunk won't open though. He said he unlocked it manually with the key, and presses the button on the trunk lid, but it just won't open. I told him to fold down his back seats and go through there to get into the trunk, but he said that his back seats don't fold either and that there's a metal beam behind the seats. I'm guessing maybe this was put on for chassis stiffening of the 4Mo models??? You guys think maybe the cable is broken or something??
Passat (B7) :: 2012 SE - Trunk Will Not Pop Open Intermittently
I own a 2012 Passat SE, this is the situation-
1) The trunk will unlock when I use the key or the interior switch.
2) The trunk will not "pop" open intermittently.
However they deal primarily with stuck trunk doors; mine is not stuck. It just won't pop open all the time.

The trunk on my 2000 Passat is hard to open. I've lubricated all the hinge points and replaced both the lift struts. The new lift struts made NO difference over the old ones. Is this common with Passats or am I overlooking something? I also want to disable the daytime running lights on this car. Is this possible? If so, how is it done?

I slammed my door shut and now it wont open from inside or outside, I pulled the door panel off the top and took as many card bolts out as I could and pried the card to check things out, seems like everything is working the same as the passenger door which I could get completely apart for comparison. Cables are attached and both handles move the mechanism, the lock and unlock seem to be working, the handles move free and easily but don't seem to catch anything. How can I get this door open to take the mechanism out?!?

My 04 audi a4 driver door will not open from the inside or outside. The bowden cable is a little loose but it has some tension, but even if that was broken i should still be able to open from the outside. the key fob will arm the alarm also.
And I can hear the door manually locking if i use the key also.i can arm the alarm only if i use the key to lock the door manually. but it will not open. i have to either crawl through the window or from the other side. Other than ripping the door panel apart and opening the door that way? Also the dash display shows the door is shut so that is a plus...

Passat (B7) :: Dead Battery / Trunk Stuck Open
So my sisters Passats battery died this weekend. She had jumper cables, but they were buried in the trunk amongst all her other crap in there. We ended up folding the back seats and crawling into the trunk to release it using the trap lever, but it was a PITA.
Is there no keyhole, or is it hidden like the door key holes? The trunk release button on the driver door is electrical switch, so that did not work either.
Passat (B5) :: Trunk Stuck Shut / Does Not Open By Key Or Switch
I have a 2001 Passat with a trunk that has been stuck shut for over a year. Three different repair men have tried to fix it but they can't get into the trunk since it is locked shut - they also cannot remove back seat to get into the trunk. One wanted to cut a hole into the car behind my license plate to get into it! I can hear the motor that usually releases the trunk but it doesn't open by the key or the switch.
