Default Electric Trunk/Boot opens and closes quickly

When i open the electric trunk/boot it opens and then immediately closes itself.
It doesn't matter if i open it using the handle, the key or the switch on the door.

If i double click the button on the key while it is closing, it just does the same thing.

I have tried the reset by holding it open at the top and then holding the close button for a few seconds until the lights flash but this has made no difference to the operation.

Has anyone else experienced this?

thanks

Sound like a sensor issue. Are you under warranty?

Not dealer warranty, I have warranty with AA who have been quite good on paying for bits on my other car.
It's having a cambelt and water pump next week so will get it scanned by the independent vag guy.

Thanks for the advice
