BMW 1-SERIES TRUNK STUCK - HOW-TO OPEN AND REPLACE
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 чер 2024
- Got a 1-Series BMW where the hatchback will not open and it just sounds like a machine-gun going off? Well, this video tells you how to get the hatchback/tailgate open the easy way and how to replace the faulty lock.
At £35/$45 for a new lock this is the sensible way to fix the problem - BMW will charge around £500 for the same job. All you need is a set of screwdrivers and a Torx set and off you go!

Thanks Tim, I have the same annoying issue, will have a go at it thanks to your video!
Glad it helped
Only video that worked, you are a hero!
My pleasure!
Thank you so much Timm for this video. I had the exact same problem and with this very thorough video I was able to complete the job in about 10-15 mins. In fact the only challenging thing was getting the plastic trim back on.
Glad it helped Richard!
Cheers Timm, saved me money and nerves ;)
Good man!
You are the real deal! Thank you for your help sir!
Glad to help!
This is the most thorough video I've seen on this repair, just what I needed. Thank you Timm.
Very welcome!
Great vid again. Cheers.
Thanks again!
Great video! Thank you.
Glad you liked it!
Thanks, repaired my machine gun trunk with your help ! Would warn about the 2 rubber screws on the bottom of the hatch : screwhead very fragile, one of mine would not rotate out so had to grab & pull it out.
My pleasure - yes, hopeless screws!
Thanks Tim saved me £30 today 👌🏾
That's what I do it for, thanks!
Thx u I trust this will work on bmwi3 model
Just pall the emergency release safety cord from the inside to open the boot. Then replace the faulty item. No need to be stuck in the car.
Thx Tim.
My pleasure!
@@TimmsBMWRepairsandInformation Is the car your sister's new car. Flooded in the rain and wrongly try to started....
@@alioral1358 It's my daughter's - and yes, a replacement for the drowned one!
Hi Timm this is Alvin your number one fan. Great video, very detailed. Did you get a new car?
Hello Alvin, good to hear from you! No, it's my daughters car!
Ok great. 😀
Hello, question did your old lock sounds like a machine gun when tried to open the trunk?
It did!
Hi Timm, was that an F20 1 series? I think mine has gone as I keep getting a warning message on the idrive about the boot being open when I go over a bump. Want to get the part before I dismantle and remove the existing one. Thanks.
It's an F21 Christopher, but the catch is exactly the same.
Hi, i have a question. My boot doesnt open, it makes no noise at all even when pressing the button on the key, do you think its likely to be the catch? before i go and start buying things i'd appreciate your opinion. Thanks
Thought i'd add - i can open it using the cord from inside the boot. But apparently its an MOT failure so i need to fix it.
Yes, very likely to be exactly the same problem!
Hi Tim, mines the opposite, it will catch and open but not stay closed, is this an electrical fault? Thanks!
Yes, it's the catch and the same repair
What is the age and exact model of this 1series repair please? My wife's 116d is a 64 plate Uk model
My daughters car is a 2013 model, M-Sport 118i
I'm on my second locater in 10 years, the only that has failed.
Cheap parts these days!
