How to open the locked tailgate on the Audi A4?

Model: Audi A4 B8 - Years 2007-2016
Part: Checks and maintenance

In the Audi A4, it can happen that the trunk hatch gets locked, for example due to a malfunction of the control button or the lock actuator. In these cases, it is still possible to open the trunk hatch by following the simple procedure shown in this tutorial. First of all, we open the rear doors, then we lower the seat backs by operating the corresponding lever. We then go inside the trunk, remove the indicated plastic cap, and, using a screwdriver with a flat tip, manually unlock the lock. At this point, the trunk hatch will be free to be opened and eventually repaired.

How to Reset the Central Locking of the Volkswagen Golf 4?

If the central locking system of the Volkswagen Golf 4 is not working, it is likely necessary to reset the system: to do this, open the driver's door and detach the side panel of the dashboard next to the steering wheel. Under this panel, you will find the fuses, including the one for the central locking, which is indicated in the manual as number 14. To reset the system, remove this fuse from its housing, then reinsert it or replace it with a new one of the same amperage: this will reset the central locking system.
