My 16v had the same locking mechanism. WIth central locking, I think that the trunk locks even when not in the locked position, but I'm not sure.

was correct as I did this with the wifes cabby and it worked (she
already knew about it though). However, there was also talk that due to
the central locking on a 16v, that the 16v rear hatch didn't have this
option (so I never tried). Well a friend of mine and fellow lister went
to get something out of my 16v the other day and when I want to put it
back I noticed that the lock was turned to the left rather then the
right and the keys were not in it. I thought for a moment, pushed the
lock in and "pop" the hatch opens.

So did I just read something wrong way back then? does everyone already
know this? Or is my car just a freak?
