Hi
I bought a 2010 Jetta TDI in November of 2009 and the trunk used to pop open and rise fully open as it should. From my understanding the smaller silver springs pop the trunk and as it reaches a certain height, the gas struts take over and lift the trunk up and back.
This continued into June of this year and now the trunk pops, but will not fully rise open. I lubricated the rubber seal as not to allow the trunk to stick, but no luck. This was one of the features (seen in the VW video for the 2010 Jetta) that was really great. Holding my son in one arm with groceries in another, I didn't have to manual lift the trunk.
I called the dealership and service said it was weather related (wrong-worked fine in January and May), it need to be lubricated (wrong and I'm not settling for a temporary fix), or the rubber seal was sticking(nope-tried that already).
*I know VW issued TSB 55-05-02 a few years back on the trunk/spring issue with the
Jetta and Passat
Has anyone else has these issues with their 2009/2010 Jetta TDI. If so, please post as I would like to find out how the problem was resolved and if the dealership is going to fix this under warranty.
Thanks again for reading,
