Why can't the trunk of the Magotan be opened?
2 Answers
The inability to open the trunk of the Magotan requires checking whether there is a malfunction in the control mechanism or the lock. If there are items such as bicycles placed on the trunk lid, the trunk lid cannot be opened either, as the trunk lid may close on its own under the influence of its own weight and additional loads. If it is indeed necessary to open the trunk lid, a suitable support must be used to secure the trunk lid or the load must be removed. The Magotan 1.8TSI and all models in the series are equipped with a high-level ESP electronic stability program, which can effectively prevent the body from slipping when the Magotan avoids obstacles at high speed, thereby maximizing the safety of the driver and the vehicle, making the active safety of the Magotan better.
I've been driving for ten years and found that trunk not opening is quite common. There could be several reasons: first, the lock mechanism is stuck or there's a foreign object stuck in the latch, like when the trunk is too full and pressing down; second, electrical issues, such as a blown fuse or low battery power, affecting the electronic unlock, especially the electronic locks on Volkswagen Magotan are prone to failure; third, damage to the linkage mechanism due to wear from frequent use; fourth, the vehicle isn't unlocked or the child lock is engaged. I suggest you first try pressing the key button to see if there's any sound, and check the car's unlock status; if that doesn't work, open the fuse box and replace the relevant fuse; if there's still no effect, it's best to take it to a professional shop for inspection. Safety first, don't force it open to avoid damaging more parts. Regular maintenance includes lubricating the latch to extend its lifespan, saving money and hassle.
