The thread never came to a conclusion. Any suggestions?
I have a 08 Speed 3 and my hatch will not open. The mechanism in the hatch sounds like its "unlocking" when I unlock the doors but the hatch will not budge when I engage the hatch lever. It acts like its locked. I have subs and I'm wondering if the past year and a half of massive vibration...
I got it as well and got excited; then I saw the "70,000 miles." I'm at 90k, damn the man. My turbo is good, no white smoke and with my ghetto system who cares about a little cosmetic noise coming from the engine bay?
