[Vwdiesel] trunk lock (off topic) & sloppy shifting all of the sudden in A2 Jetta

[peter blake]

Travis,
 The key only actuates the solenoid. I plan on getting into the trunk
later today thru the back seat and opening the mechanism by the safety
latch.
  I've seen those balls advertised fm time to time on the samba.com.
I've done a lot of business w a seller by the name of Bryan Wilson fm
Arkansas. He has been honest, reasonably priced and quick to ship. His
number is on his ads, call and ask, u might be surprised. Hope that helps.
Peter
