no year car told. the now lost free users guide is by year. made 1994 to present (even 1989 as legacy outback) no country told at all sorry cars not the same world wide.
open glove box, read the users guide? oops locked too>? most cars sold in USA , called wagons opening the rear gate hatch by accident driving kids fall the ground, or cargo hits cars behind you. (so is illegall that feature) and is never called a truck ever, in a wagon only on sedans. a hatch or 5th door it is named. In Europe then even call them 5 door cars. so I am confused. so all keys lost to the car. and can not drive it nor open any side doors and rear hatch is locked and valuables in cargo area to fetch, right? I say call a locksmith and pick the lock. the door lock(mechanism) in the hatch internal, is accessed from the inside of the hatch open.so no why to attack it that way.
Unfortunately, the 04 Golf does not have a back-up release lever on the inside of the trunk lid so there are only a few options. You can try and get the trunk motor/latch to work again or remove the plastic trim on the inside of the hatch to gain access to the inner workings.
The trunk latch is released by a electric motor when you press the release button on the drivers door or by holding down the trunk release button on the remote. If you can hear the electric motor in the hatch moving when trying either of these methods, then your problem is most likely a broken plastic lever that connects the motor to the latch.
Some Golf/GTI models had a lock cylinder in the exterior handle on the hatch that can be used to gain access to your interior.
If none of these methods are working for you, then the last resort is to climb into the interior and remove the trim from the back of the hatch. There are screws tucked into the grab handle pockets on the trim that need to be removed before pulling the plastic off (the trim panel is held on with metal spring-like clips that sometimes come off the plastic and stay on the hatch and can easily be removed from the hatch and re-installed onto the plastic trim.
Thanks for using FixYa.First of all you’ll need to check
battery voltage, recharge it if it is low or jump start with another battery
charger. Inspect, clean and tight both ends of all battery cables. Also check,
clean and tight wiring connections. Check for voltage at relay. If relay has
voltage but there is no "click" when key is turned to start, replace
relay. Remove starter and inspect drive gear and flywheel teeth, replace
damaged parts if necessary. Check to see if voltage reaches starter relay/solenoid
when turn to start. If not, check for open P/N switch and brake or clutch pedal
switch.Please prythe
interior panel and release the inside door locks. If still the issue is not
resolved then you’ll need to drill a two inch hole into the latch to access the
inside lock link through the interior panel. After removing the panel replaces
the latch to resolve the issue. See the picture where to drill--- Please do accept the solution if the issue is
resolved or else revert for further assistance. Thanks Rylee
haev some one help you by pushing on the door wjile you try to open it. it needs little force. what happen is the catch is off align, when you moove the furnitures.
you have to look at the lock and figure out how much is off and correct it.
Try pressing down on the trunk /hatch and at the same time turn the key to try and open it. It might take a lot of downware pressure to finally get it to come open.
