How to Open the Trunk of an Older Jetta?
2 Answers
The trunk of an older Jetta can be opened by pressing the remote key or the opening button on the driver's side door inside the car. Jetta is a car brand under FAW-Volkswagen. Taking the Jetta VS5 as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4419 mm, width 1841 mm, height 1616 mm, wheelbase 2630 mm, fuel tank capacity 51 liters, and curb weight 1310 kg. The Jetta VS5 is equipped with a 1.4L turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 110 kW, maximum power speed of 5000 to 6000 rpm, maximum torque of 250 Nm, and maximum torque speed of 1750 to 3000 rpm.
Hey, opening the trunk on the old Jetta is pretty straightforward, mostly done with the car key. Just take the key to the rear of the car, and you'll find a small keyhole near the license plate light. Insert the key, gently twist it to the right, and the trunk lid will pop open. If the key makes a clicking sound when turning, just spray some engine oil or WD-40 to lubricate it. When parking, make sure to keep the keyhole clean to prevent dust buildup, which can make it hard to open and prone to rust. If it doesn't turn easily, don't force it—repairing a broken lock can be costly and time-consuming. I drove this car for several years, and since the trunk is opened frequently, regular maintenance helps keep it operating smoothly and extends the lock's lifespan. Adding lubricant during seasonal changes is a good practice—simple upkeep saves hassle and effort.
