B3 90q - Trunk/Boot Won't Unlock

[cobram at juno.com]

Maybe his car is a crossover year, 1991?  I think they sold both B3 and
B4 in '91.  Kind of strange the B3 comes before the B4. ;-)  Although the
problem would be easily solved on the B4, they have folding rear seats
IIRC.
I suppose type 89 would have been sufficient, unless of course the B4's
are type 89?  
 
If it isn't a 1991, I completely agree with Bob too.  
You want some nomenclature fun, try Mercedes.  I've got a 124.193 body
with a 603.960 engine, and ex V8Q lister Ed has a 124.034 with a 119.975
engine, both type 124's.  4 matics get their own chassis numbers even if
they have the same engine/body as a 2WD version.  The Germans and their
damn need to organize everything.  The Bentleys are fine examples too,
page D3.65.XX which comes after section 39.XX and before page 37.XX.
