Thank you sir! You just saved me money. Took all of 5 minutes and it works. Btw: my 2014 Touareg TDI is the same color. That's kismet.

I am happy it helped you. If the lock is stuck means it’s a solenoid issue otherwise it’s a free moving mechanism without having any power input. This part would require replacement likely..hope you tried pressing hard on the twist lock

@@sumeetkakroo it was exactly the same problem as yours. Just needed a little lubricant in the hole.

3:24 I also put some oil to lubricate the moving parts inside as recommended by the author. It didn't help. Then I disassembled the actuator and I found the above mentioned tube ( or hole) was sealed, i.e not pass-through. So it make no sense to put some oil in the hole. Once disassembled I found no corrosion, the motor in good, working condition, was enough white lubricant inside. Have no idea what caused the problem. So I just lubricated with some additional silicone all moving parts inside. Then assembeled the mechanism and put it back. 2013 VW Tuareg NF.
