Saturday - Fitted S3 Jack pads to my golf, got my brother a boot popping kit for his birthday and fitted that to his golf same day.
Sunday - re did the carbon fibre vinyl trim on my b pillars on the 2008 caddy

Jack pads from audi wearside cost £57
Boot popping parts from Pullman VW Sunderland and Durham came to £57 and coppers

just needs recoding to get the boot working properly now. My friend with VAG Com will be back this or next week tho so.......  :grin:

We're did you source the parts for the boot pop mod??


2 x 6Y0 827 550 C (Skoda Fabia gas struts)
2 x 1K8 827 761 C (Scirocco bump stops)
2 x 1J6 827 439 A (Seat Leon ball pins)

Ordered the skoda gas boot struts from Pullman VW in Durham the other 2 parts from VW Pullman in Sunderland.

What are you struggling to get? My local VW had the stops and ball connectors. They just got the struts in from Skoda.

Post by: MC71 on September 21, 2012, 06:08:01 pm
Got the Pins and Bumpers from my VW main dealer, they were unable to get the struts so had to go directly to Skoda and no problem with that.

Not sure why you can't go to TPS, maybe they are different from one area to the next or it depends on the staff, my nearest one is fine with complete muptards like me just walking off the street.

I did mine at the weekend after leaving it for a day or 2 it seems to pop and then open very slowly once ive done it once it opens every time , the struts may just need bedding in or something ?

Outside temperature will affect the operation aswell. You will find it won't work first time when it's colder as the gas pressure is slightly reduced.

Just fitted all my parts today and got it coded.  Doesn't work  :sad1:

Checked box 3 on byte 2 of the 46 control module and the boot just locks.  The fob couldn't open it and either could the button on the drivers door. 

Turn the check box back off and the click save, the boot flies open, but just works as previous.  Absolutely gutted!

Don't be gutted.
Mine didn't work with the standard VCDS instructions either...  do you have an early version car?
I forget which bits and bytes worked but it's close to above in the same 46 control module.  It will work.

Also, even after it's coded up... it doesn't work great in cold weather.  Pretty hit and miss.

As above, you will sort the coding eventually, but its very hit and miss.  :confused:

Could do with stronger struts tbh….although like some have mentioned it will work alot better with the bump stop springs pulled out more.  :wink:

Only trouble with this is, to get my boot to pop every time I need em quite far out. This means when the boot is shut, it doesnt sit flush anymore.  :sad1:


I think Tfsi-Mike mentioned some custom gas struts, you can get made to whatever pressure you want?

Maybe a group-buy is in order?  :laugh:

wow - thank you sir - your service is better than vw lol
I assume everyones keys have the boot symbol in the middle button position,,,, was trying to press it in multiple different ways when I bought the car, thought it must do something lol,,, now I understand.
I will buy the parts on the part numbers you supplied
my car is an 08, does that make a difference and can I fit this myself ?
also any ideas how much I should pay someone for the coding alone
many many thanks to you sir  :pomppomp:

Yes, just a generic key. Tis nice to be able to use it, always eats noticed in car parks when you "pop" it from a distance and peeps look round!  :laugh:

You can get all the parts from your local TPS, or VW for the VW parts and Skoda for the struts. It's a 2 min job to code so hopefully a kind forum member should only charge you a few beer tokens.

Am looking at the strut part number now and its C. Prices were correct as off 2 months ago.

Martin beat me to it  :laugh:

If you press the boot button now it will just pop the boot onto the first latch. (just unlocking the boot and leaving the other doors locked.)

Once you fit the new parts, you need it coding so that it bypasses the latch. Therefore when you press the boot button it will pop straight open.

Where abouts are you from Stacy?

Im sure there will be a friendly forum member not too far away that can help with coding  :happy2:

As mentioned, VW may not be able to supply the Skoda parts (2 of my local VW dealers will not). It's a 10 minute job to fit, follow the instructions from my previous post, then its just coding. Have heard a story of a member being quoted £100 to just simple code this mod, incredible, and daylight robbery!!  :laugh:

Shame too far for me :innocent:

VW don't seem to want to supply the Skoda parts. I got all the parts for a Skoda dealer on ebay. The prices were a bit more than listed by Martin but more convenient and good service :happy2:

http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/number1forskoda?ssPageName=ADME:X:CEM:GB:1181

Email them with the part numbers.

I have the revision 'D' pump stops, I assume they are an updated version.

Yeah mine is an 05, didn't realise there was a difference in coding.  Shame you can't remember the coding you did, would have been an early xmas present ha!  :smiley:  Will have to try and give it another go sometime, guess it's going to be a case of trial and error.

The ebay one quoted me £67.99 inc p&p for all the parts btw.
