What to do if the trunk of the Audi A3 no longer opens?

Model: Audi A3 8V, MK 3 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Checks and maintenance

In an Audi A3, it is possible for the trunk door to become locked, for example due to a malfunction in the related actuator. In this case, it is still possible to perform an emergency opening of the trunk by following the simple procedure shown in this tutorial. First, we open the rear doors, then we lower the backrest of the sofa completely and go inside the trunk compartment. We then locate the small indicated cap, remove it, and manually release the lock using the vehicle key. The trunk door is now free to be opened and repaired.
