Thank you so much, really nice explanation how that part works that helped me fix my car. Issue with my switch was that it was stuck up too much so that it was permanently pressed. Broke all the legs of that part to figure out that switch works fine and just needs to be slightly more back so that the microswitch can be pressed.

Super video exactly my problem and I think will solve the issue that has suddenly come into my Mk5 😄👍👍Actually my issue happen to be the loom after all.About a 2 hour job to repair .Someone had been in there probing the wiring loom years ago by the looks of things all wires had to be cut out and replaced to allow me restore the lock and what appeared to be a malfunctioning back window wiper 👍done at last

Another well presented, informative video. Have you done a video of a front strut brace install on the R32?

Thanks Scott, appreciate the feedback. I haven't done a strut brace install. I dont feel that it would benefit the car (real world) to be honest.

I have a problem with my boot too I can only open it by putting a screwdriver from the inside and pushing it open I don’t know if should get a new lock or just the switch one thing is that when trying to unlock there is no sound would it be the switch then ?

If the emergency release is working, the lock or latch itself is probably mechanically ok. Worth testing the switch to see.

What could be the problem when I have no power goin to the boot handle? I am going to take a live from somewhere else but I dont know which of the 2 wires running to the switch should be live? Fuses are all good.

Check the cables running into the boot for a brake. Peel back the black rubber sheath and see if you can find something there. It's quite common.

@@NeilMagill got it sorted, none of them have to be live all the time. I crossed the wires and the boot opened so it's the switch in the badge, same as yours. Thanks for the reply. 👍
