Volkswagen Golf - Video tutorial

Model: Volkswagen Golf Golf V, MK 5, Golf 5 - Years 2003-2008
Part: Checks and maintenance
Operation: Problem with the rear tailgate of the Volkswagen Golf wagon or Passat.

We will need to pull it out, remove the wire insulation, and we will see that among all the wires, there is one that is almost cut. The power cable for the hatch button is the smallest cable. We will need to put new insulation on all the cables and isolate the one that is cut, using a heat shrink tube to do this.
