Tourer Tailgate Query.

[milleplod]

Afternoon all.

 

I've just bought a lovely, one-owner '09 plated Tourer, the 2.0HDi Exclusive model with the auto-box. Its really been looked after, and I'm very pleased with it indeed!

 

My first question - and I have done a search, but couldn't find anything relevant! - the powered tailgate works perfectly. But....it doesn't close from the button on either of the 2 remote keys, both of which are quite worn around the buttons. Is this likely to be an internal fault on each remote? The tailgate closes perfectly when the button on its bottom edge is pressed btw.

 

Or....does the remote not close the tailgate anyway?! I'll start scouring the handbook!

My mistake was assuming something - our previous car had an auto-tailgate that opened/closed on the key fob. When I went to look at the C5, the seller was taking me through the car's features - he told me that the tailgate opened with the key fob, but didn't close with it, you had to press the button on the tailgate itself. I thought he meant that the key fob was supposed to close the tailgate, but was defective. :rolleyes:

 

So.....we agreed a price, and when I got home I started trawling the internet looking for a fix for the non-existent 'problem'. Then I read the handbook...... :D
