This sounds like the intermittent problem I have been having. There are smatterings of discussion about this if you search "System Workshop". I occasionally get the "Close Boot Lid" message too. Dealer replaced the truck latch switch and thought that was the issue, but occasionally I still have problems. Waiting for the weather to not be so nice here so I can leave it with them for a few days to have it checked out again. In the meantime, if I get the error message it does seem to clear with an opening and closing of the boot.

It could be related to the luggage cover being slightly ajar. The left hand catch has to be firmly clicked in.

I have the same intermittent problem.
When the roof opening sequence completes it sometimes displays the "Close boot lid" message.
At other times, the same message displays at the start of the roof open sequence.
I think what happens is that the boot lid unlocks when you open the roof, but does not re-lock as the last step in the sequence; ie the motor that locks down the boot lid does not do its thing.
The roof ECU then thinks the boot lid is open.
There have also been the few times that I close the boot lid and cannot hear the motor locking it down

The "Close luggage comparetment" error is completely different than the "Close Boot Lid" error. Never have I had to reset the luggage compartment cover.

On two occasions I have heard and extra long "whirrrrrrrr" as it seems that the motor is lockign down the boot lid. At that moment, the close boot lid message has shown up. That sound though is not consistent with the problem. Someone else on this forum suggested that the whole roof ECU needed to be replaced on his vehicle and that solved the problem. I imagine that's a harder pill to get the dealer to swallow.

Extra long whirr whilst the boot is trying to lock suggests something wrong with the boot lock itself... This is a common problem on the touran, although mechanically different.

Is the boot suppose to re-latch if "popped" and not opened? My boot had always re-latched it's self (what I thought of as a safety feature) if not opened. The boot latch motor was replaced because it was making a grinding noise and now does not re-latch. The dealerships tell me it never re-latched.

I am going to add something hypothetical to this thread which may be related to a 'boot lock' thread I am already posting on.

I am going to assume a problem with the boot lid locking NOT the luggage cover which is usually just the switch for it not making contact.

I am also assuming in Belgium it is cold (freezing) like it is here in U.K. If the boot lock doesn't lock when the boot lid is lowered, the system seems to try locking it. This could be a normal VW security feature.

When the boot unlocks, the lid and (I'm guessing) a switch inside the lock, tells the system the boot is open and it will not try re-locking. If the boot (trunk) lid does not lift up after lock actuation, the system will think the boot lock has not locked and will try again. The boot lid should have some upward tension from the two gas spring struts which allows it to lift up slightly when the lock is unlocked. In very cold weather the amount of lift from the two gas struts, especially if old, may be insufficient and the problem gets worse if the boot lid is iced over (heavier).

There are a couple of things to try. First push downwards on the boot lid then try to lock it with the fob. If the motor whirrs once and the boot locks that is o.k. Then apply some upward pull pressure to the locked boot and operate the remote. If the boot unlocks with one 'whirr' and no warnings then that is o.k. In the last test you are compensating for reduced gas spring tension. In the first test you may be finding that the two adjustable rubber bump stops that set how far the trunk goes into the lock are set slightly too high. But you have to be careful adjusting those, because I think they also determine how much the lid is pulled down by the lock motor and contact pressure on the boot seal, which must be even all around (no gaps).

As I said, this explanation is hypothetical so try out the ideas. I am waiting for a new pair of trunk gas spring struts to arrive to be able to do some tests. These are dirt cheap and 5 minutes to fit if they solve your problems.
