2006 V70 2.5t - Back Hatch is the DEVIL
I back hatch is closed and will not open.
I crawled in the back, opened the Plastic and carpet back panel. The rod was not in the receiver cup(black plastic piece), I placed it in, nothing is happening. I locked and unlocked several times! Is there a way to manually open? Is the White Ppastic rocking piece the actual lever? Need Help Please!! |

the metal rod is moved side to side by the lock actuator, so in the locked position the rod misses the black cup when you pull the handle.
When unlocked, the rod is pulled back again and does hit the cup the handle moves the rod up and down to open it manually while looking at the mechanism, press downwards on the black cup bit (Assuming 2006 is same as 2001) Last edited by stuart bowes; Sep 5th, 2021 at 22:44. |

Ha!
One of my XC70's is a P2 2005 SE D5 auto. It's been sitting for some months, just starting it up now and then, battery more or less (pretty much less) maintained with a Halfrauds solar panel. The other day I realised the trunk would not open up - when trying the handle it was like there was no linkage at all, although I could hear the mechanism lock and unlock when I pushed the lock/unlock on the on the key fob I read this whole thread from start to end and wasn't looking forward to go thru the hassle described by so many, so I thought "Let's make sure the battery is fully charged and take it from there. I hooked up my trusty 5 amp CTEK and put it on recondition (I do that once/year anyway) and a couple of minutes ago my wife crawled into the back and as she pushed with both feet against the hatch I pulled the hatch handle while simultaneously unlocking the car from the key fob. The hatch opened up! Closed it and again pulled the handle and the hatch opened up like it always has. As soon as the reconditioning is finished, I'll lubricate the lock and metal parts with some WD40 - and lubricate the rubber around the hatch as well and also make sure not to let the car sit for months without opening the hatch.
