Passat (B6) :: Trunk Lid Not Closing
Aug 5, 2007
All of a sudden (2 wks ago), the trunk lid decides when it's going to close. I open it with the key or VW sign and then it won't close. It just pops back open, I thought something was stuck, checked out the trunk-there was nothing there. It took about 5 minutes and numerous trys then it finally stayed closed.
Used the trunk again, no problems. Then last night it did it again, it took about 10 mins. to get it closed. This time I had to sit on the trunk lid to close it, but the alarm wouldn't engage. I was scared it was going to pop open when I driving so I opened it again sat on it for a few minutes, then the trunk lid stayed closed and the alarm finally engaged.

Got really cold this morning, around 26F, went ahead and opened the trunk, put some stuff in, and then ... tried to close it and the latch wouldn't hold. It would just bounce off ... tried it a couple of times (4-5) and it finally closed. It's the second time it happens ...

My 2006 passat trunk is not closing in cold weather. Even if it stays the alarm beep will not come on indicating it is not closed. If I let it sit under the sun (or warm garage), it will lock.

SE with Nav & Sunroof, when opening & closing Tilt the motor vibrates and the hinges squeak, after the dealer apparently lubricated the s/roof the squeaking etc is still happening..
The service manager says it's the rubber water seals closing or pulling apart! he says that after lubrication just 1car wash will enable the squeaking to return!!!!!
He also says that the trunk on my wife's 2012 Jetta should not fully pop open when using the keyfob, buy it popped fully open for 2 months - now it's just lifts a little..did VW reprogram via the internet? or whats the story...........

My parents have a 2008 Azera with 65k miles on it. Bumper to bumper warranty has expired. Their trunk will not close. It doesn't seem to latch. Any recommendations before I take it to the dealer? What the cost may be to have it fixed?

Notice a rattle when they close their trunk?
My top screws are plenty tight, but the bottom portion seems to not be secure enough since they do not have screws.

My new 2014.5 Camry SE is awesome. I miss some things from my 2009 Altima Hybrid, but overall I'm happy I replaced it.
One thing I've found kind of odd is that I have a bit of a hard time closing the trunk. In most other cars I've had just pressing the trunk down gently will latch it (even if not fully closed) and it doesn't take much force at all to fully close. On my Camry, though, I feel like I have to slam it down pretty hard to get it to latch.

Where the fuse is for the auto trunk closing system? The auto close feature suddenly stopped working.

I have a 2015 sonata sport and every time I close my trunk it makes a long beep sound and then goes off. The sound is almost like if you close the car door and leave the keys in the car, almost like a warning sound.

I could not find any specific on B6, I have activated the rain with VAG and I can see the option Menu in MFD and here is what I do to test it:
1.Open windows and put the sun-roof in vent mode.
2.put the wiper lever in auto mode.
3.close and lock doors.
but if I sprinkle water on the sensor nothing happens, I am wondering is there something with the coding that may not work with B6 like remote sun-roof opening?

My hatch no longer holds itself up, it sags then slowly starts to close, I guess I need to replace the arms or shocks, not sure what they are called, what options do I have on these apart from the dealer?
unrelated question, do you ever need to change the Transmission fluid on a 2007 passat 2.0T Auto? Dealer says no, making sure.

Winter is here and its the first winter i've had my 2006 Passat 3.6l. After a long night of freezing weather i attempt to open the door. After getting it loose, It wont seal close. When i shut the door it will just bounce off and open again.
My temp solution is to hold the door closed and press the lock key. The door then partially locks closed and then i have to pull it hard to make the seal close completely.

I can lock the doors with the key fob but it does not beep. The alarm sets, and the passenger doors all lock, but the drivers door does not. I have checked that all doors are closing properly, and the transmission is in park.
I also tried both key fobs with the same result. The alarm LED flashes about 6 times before glowing steady - is this a code of some sort?

When I open my sunroof and then later on go to close it, it will come in half way and then stop and go back in to open.

My trunk opens by itself. Sometimes when I hit the door open key on the remote (I've tried the spare and it's the same). Sometimes seconds after opening doors. I've gone out to find my trunk wide open in the morning...twice in the past week! The latch works just fine. Seems to be a problem with electronics.

When I open the trunk, the trunk lid doesn't seem to lift more than about an inch without me having to get involved. While it has been cold here, 40's and 50's, I don't believe that should have a tremendous effect on it. Should it be lifting all the way under these conditions? If so, what needs to be replaced?
I ask because there was a slow-speed chase on the freeways 'round LA with a guy driving a Bentley Flying Spur. When he finally stopped, 3+ hours later, he popped the trunk lid and it rose to attention like I thought my trunk lid should. An hour and a half later, it wasn't pretty for the car or driver.

I've noticed that when it's cold out when i open the trunk it won't close... you can slam it, be nice, hold it down, nothing... I have no issues when it's not cold out say 45+ F. Anything lower than that forget it....

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?

Any instructions on how to remove my trunk light? Its one of those things you can only deal with for so long, especially when the 6disc is back there.
