G,day
I have had a 2008 R50 for 3 years and never had a problem with the tailgate
now it will only open half way.
Tried to reset as per owners manual but still only opening half way any help would be appreciated.
Regards Kel

Open the tailgate all the way manually. Once at the maximum height, hold down the auto-close button on the hatch for 10 seconds or so. That should save the new settings...

Your a genius thank you.

Nope. Just had the same problem when I first got my Touareg. Searched the forum and got the response you just got.

Glad I could help.

Have fun with searches. There is a wealth of knowledge on this forum. Just gotta dig...

Tailgate

Hi all. I'm a new member and have been very impressed with all the advice on this site.
I have a 04 V6 with a manually opening tailgate/boot. It opens about 3/4 of the way then needs a helping hand to fully open. I've now hit my head too many times and wondered if there's a fix?

Yes, you replace all the struts. There's a good how-to on here about it.

The most important piece of equipment you will need is luber.

If you come back and ask what luber is we will know you have not read the how-to!

Thanks very much Noobytoogy. I'll give it a go!
