What to do if the trunk of the Volkswagen Golf does not open?
Years 1997-2003

Answer

Failure of the trunk lock turns out to be a rather common problem in the Volkswagen Golf. Fortunately, it is possible to carry out an emergency opening from inside the passenger compartment, by manually intervening on it through the rear of the tailgate. To do this, it will be sufficient to overturn the rear sofa and open the small door located near the lock.
