vwdeviant 0 Posted December 30, 2005 Am having a problem with the boot lock in that it's stopped working full stop! Sod's law that the MOT's due next week and I can't find a manual for the 'Rado either. Any help on how to get to the back of the lock without wrecking the cover panel inside the boot?

belfastfumanchu 0 Posted December 30, 2005 Hey wwdeviant Taking the cover panel off won't wreck it. They're lil plastic screw type things. Just use a star screw driver and give em a twist and each one will come off with little bother. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keystarG60 0 Posted December 30, 2005 Mine stopped working once. I had to climb in to the boot (lucky i'm only 5'6"), remove the plastic cover. In my case, the lever that is operated by pressing the button had become detached. It just clipped back into place, hey presto!! No problems since and i now know that i can fit a body in the back of the Corrado!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vwdeviant 0 Posted January 3, 2006 Cheers guys! Did manage to get into the boot via back seats (not easy as I'm 5'11! And turns out the "monkey metal" color round the lock which actually activates the release has snapped! :x And it due an MOT on Thursday! Is this part a 'Rado specific or is it Golf as well?

vwdeviant 0 Posted February 25, 2006 BTT Still need some help here guys, the GF is getting hacked off with putting shopping on the back seats and I put my back out everytime I want to get to the changer in the boot! Have had a look a Mk2 Golf and appears to be different! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vwdeviant 0 Posted April 11, 2006 any-one else had this problem? Surely I can't be the only one who's suffered a lock lever failure? The G/friend left me so I got one that doesn't go shopping, oh well silver linings etc.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted April 11, 2006 It could be similar to the Passat part, but it deffo ain't MKII or MKIII golf... Time to visit VW and get a new one... :| Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VR64sale 10 Posted February 12, 2012 Has anyone got a picture of what a working boot lock looks like internally. My alarm fob won't reset and I've got a feeling it's caused by this! Thanks in advance Miles Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stonejag 10 Posted February 12, 2012 Don't have a pic of it in the car, but here's my spare. The two white plastic inserts hold the pushrods captive - firmly pull straight towards you and they'll release. They just snap in under pressure when you're reassembling. Once you knock the small brass pin out (holding the button in the pressed position makes it easier), the lock barrel should come out forwards, towards the key, when the key is turned. You may need to wiggle the key around a bit and/or use force if the wafers are stuck! Once it's out, you can retumble it - asking nicely at your local indy VW place usually gets you a small pile of wafers and springs - it's a lot easier if you let it sit in a tub of WD40 for a week or so before you try moving any of the pins, though. Hope that helps! Stone Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MikeVR6 0 Posted February 14, 2012 My boot wasn't locking at all either. None of my keys fitted the lock and it was in the horizontal position which makes it lock independently of the central locking. Got a spare lock and key from Rodmax on here. But when I was fitting it this evening, the white insert for the bottom most pushrod disintegrated. They're made from really crappy brittle plastic. Do you think it's possible to get these separately from VW? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stonejag 10 Posted February 18, 2012 Part #20 is labelled as "191837199 clip" so try asking your local VW stealers. Probably long obsolete now but worth a shot as it may have been used on other similar models. Stone Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So I ordered 4 to make the postage worthwhile. :) Thanks very much :cool: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stonejag 10 Posted February 22, 2012 No problem - good to know they're still available, might pick one up to complete my spare lock next time I'm getting bits :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
