Electric Boot

[tchard]

Hi,

I've read that the Stag has an electric/self closing boot. Although, I can't figure out how this works?

All I know is that if I pull the boot door down close to being closed, it will close itself the rest of the way.

Seems like a pretty pointless feature??

Don't have to slam the boot lid tho...

That stops sound pressure wave from bouncing around inside & annoying passengers, or worse, waking a sleeping child. Not pointless at all imo.

agreed ^ its great not having to slam the boot, doesn't wake my baby girl when she's asleep.

can't figure out how it works, that's understandable cause it's almost rocket science, close to the greatest invention ever............

It works pulling the boot down to a point but it stops just before is closed and slows down and closes the rest slowly and does make muh or any noise at all. Its not like a full electric boot like on a audi q7

oh those are good. I'm pretty certain some of them have actually come from my two.

On mine, one is and one isn't.

Getting the isn't to is , is taking a lot of mucking around. There is a feed wire missing from the input loom to where it connects to the loom in the tail gate. Seems I have to get the head lining out and get a wire from the cargo space light. I think??????????????

hmm yeah i thought when you say electric boot its fully electric like the Q7, sadly my expectation were a bit high

shit hugh i said it's rocket science but i did'nt think it was that difficult

Not having a wiring diagram makes it difficult. Chris Rogers is going to have another go sometime. Actually while it is in the panel beaters would be a good time.

i wonder if this is what i could have in my series 1?

i also struggle to shut the boot, those struts, mine have just been replaced i believe and the first time i opened the boot it nearly lifted me clean off the ground :lol:

However once i shut my boot, as soon as it locks shut i hear a [how to explain] electrical kind of noise like a motorized sound, everytime i shut the boot it will make that noise, and i have no idea what it is?

your stagea has a (like post states) self closing boot ,when closed to slightly ajar the motor engages and pulls the boot closed.
