MY16 Octavia RS Power Tailgate not raising the full height
Hi all,
My MY16 Octavia RS started having an intermittent fault with the tailgate only rising about 1/4 of the way / 10 Degrees or so before stopping. The weight of the tailgate would them cause it to close again by itself. It now does this every time. It also started having issues latching intermittently when it was lowered however having a ticker with the latch itself it now seems to be latching fine and fully closing the last 20 or so times. Has anyone else experienced this issue and
is it common or is there a known fix for this? Its out of warranty now so id like to try to see if i can fix it myself if simple before taking to a dealer.
Thanks
Chris

I also saw this one suggesting to replace the electronic strut but as it stops at the same point everytime i thought it might be more a calibration / reset of the limits etc as its now been manually handled and out of sync.
Hi Chris, in case you haven't sorted this yet, I had the same problem with my MY16 Octavia Scout and have just worked out how to reset the power tailgate thanks to this video (16.35 in). Only just did it myself but it seems to have sorted the issue (fingers crossed...).
