I just bought an '08 Passat wagon and I'm having trouble with the rear hatch. It won't open using the fob, the interior switch, or the switch inside the exterior handle. I can hear some whirring when I push the button but there is zero movement. You can pull it open, but it feels like you're fighting the motor. The auto-close works perfectly, and it never gives a warning about the hatch being open on the dash. It seems from VW forums that people have a lot of issues with the B6 wagon hatch, but I haven't found anything conclusive on a fix. Anybody have experience?

Yes it is supposed to open and close under its own power. I think I'm going to try replacing the latch, which like you said is cheap. I guess there is a micro switch inside the latch assembly that can go bad and cause a problem like this. If it's the main motor I think I'll just try to find a way to disconnect it. I don't really need an auto-opening hatch, and I would imagine that's a much more expensive part and more difficult to install.
