Hi,
I've noticed that the boot lock on my 10 plate Ibiza has started to fail to unlock. It locks fine!
If it's a cold morning (below 4C) the boot lock won't work properly, you can hear the mechanism move (that whirring noise) but the lock itself doesn't budge - so the boot will move slightly if you try to open it but it will "thunk" against the deadlock. This can be resolved by locking the car via the keyfob then unlocking it, sometimes after a couple of tries.
However, today it failed to unlock at all, even using the unlock button within the car. Once it warmed up, it unlocked fine without any problem.
Is this a known issue? And, is it an easy one to fix?
Cheers,
