16v vs 8v rear hatch

[vwscir88@hotmail.com (brett cooke)]

i think you must've misread. i've never owned a 16v where you have to use 
the key everytime you want to pop the hatch. i've always been able to leave 
it unlocked if i wanted too, central locking or no central locking. of 
course all my rocco's locks may not have been functioning correctly, but 
what's the chances of that..... :P
