At a guess, it is not the central locking switch activated so passenger door and tailgate are locked?lloydie63 wrote:Tailgate will not open using the keyfob but OK with the lever inside the driver door. Any deas as to why?
On our Polo, I have to double click the fob to unlock passenger door and tailgate.

Re: Tailgate will not open.
I'm sure you're aware but when opening the tailgate using the keyfob you need need to press and hold the middle button for a few secs for it to open. Have you tried it with the 2nd keyfob?

Re: Tailgate will not open.
This happened to me for about a month last year. I couldn't figure out what was causing it, but it just fixed itself out of the blue. Recognise that's not a useful response but at least there's hope!
