Boot wont lock!!!!

[WillsCupra]

Has anyone ever had any problems with the boot not locking. Mines not locking using the remote central locking and it wont let me turn the key in the actual boot lock to lock it either!!

Anyone got any ideas whats up?????

sounds to me like maybe your lock is either jammed or very stiff ??
so you cant turn the key and the motor isnt powerful enough to budge it.

Spay some wd40 into it

I've just purchased a Ibiza Cupra TDI and my boot doesn't open/lock with the central locking either. It does with the key, but thats just a pain!
Any ideas?????

I had this very same problem mate -- there's a thread on here which tells you how to fix it (it's simple really) so I'll just give you a quick rundown:

======================================================================

• Take the plastic fascia off the back side of the boot (just a few screws and clips)
  
• This will reveal the boot lock mechanism
  
• The solenoid will be stuck open
  
• Get a flat head screwdriver or similar item and litterally what the solenoid back in
  
• Spray on some WD40 and open and shut the bootlock with the remote key just to make sure it's lubricated
  

======================================================================


As far as I'm awar it happens because of either heavy rain or water (I like to wash mine a lot) getting into the mechanism




Hope that helps.
