A4 Cabriolet 2003 1.8T sport - cannot open boot with fob or manually with key. No button in the door to open either. Does anyone know a way to get into the boot manually? The central locking mechanism is fine on the doors. You can hear the boot motor running but the boot just will not open at all. When the button is pressed on the boot handle again you can hear the motor running but the boot doesn't open. The ski bag looks to have been cut previously so I think previous owner may have had this issue previously? I really need to get into the boot as there is food in there from doing the shopping run.
