Why does the trunk of the Volkswagen Golf 5 not open?
Years 2003-2008

Answer

The cause of this can be an electrical problem, even a simple broken cable, which not only does not allow the tailgate to open, but also causes other electrical faults, for example in the rear fog lights or reversing lights. Otherwise, it is necessary to check whether mechanically the lock of the closure is locked and in this case it is advisable to lubricate with a spray release agent.
