Hah I'm a newbie here and a newbie to VW as my last car being my first car was a BMW and currently looking at a '97 VW Vento (its my mates car) and it has a problem with the trunk as it doesnt open!
Im looking after it for 2 weeks whilst my mate is away and got a flat tire today and had a fun time trying to get the spare wheel out of a trunk that doesnt open.
So was wondering if anyone could help me out on fixing it or point me in the direction on who would know how I'd go about fixing it.
Cheers

What happens when you put the key in the boot lock?
The boot should unlock when the doors are unlocked, but if someone has locked the boot while the doors are unlocked it will then get out of sequence.

well like when I go to press the button in it doesnt do anthing it just goes in, then I try with the key both left and right and still doesnt do anything, stays firmly closed, but when I unlock it from the front door i can here the motor for that lock working, i'll double check now

Remove the Rear Seats..

Crawl in.. unclip the locking thing..

see what is wrong with it.. if needs be dismantle it.. if something is a minor.. repair it if something is a major replace it..

More than likely the noise you are hearing from the rear of the car is the fuel flap door unlocking not the boot lock.

Also, do Ventos rear seat fold down?

Yeah the seats do fold down, got in the trunk earlier today found the lock thing and two screws but i dont see how id get the locking thing out of where it is without the trunk lid being open. so I gave up.
im pretty sure the sound is deffinatly comming from the trunk aye. because I can hear the petrol flap unlock then I can still hear the sound like a car aerial thats strying to go up, the motor runs but doesnt unlock it. Who knows, might just get my mate to take it to be fixed by a pro
