If you put to much turning force, with the wrong key, it will turn freely.
The cilinder will retract inside the housing for about a single millimeter.

Turn over the cilinder, with any key, until it Pops out the most.
Try 180'' and possibly again 180'' and leave it in the most popped out possition.

Then spray in wd40, and start picking, with lesser force, until it opens.

Does the lock lock spin freely without resistance? These locks will turn with any key if you apply enough pressure but will not unlock. If it's still popping into place at the 12 o'clock position it might be possible to pick with very light tension.

Worst case, pick and decode door lock, originate key,open boot, sell key to customer for emergency key.

3C dont have door lock on boot as i remember.

Thoose passat locks can be pretty faulty, sometimes in the cylinder itself like broken cam piece, and sad but the locking mechanism itself can be dead too.

Last time i had a faulty lock, deceided to pull out lock plug, and after that we change it for a new one. but not only the cylinder was faulty but the mechanism in the door too, and the car wont open as i freely turned the cam with a screwdriver..... that was a nightmare -.-

every lock should be flushed and raked to ensure the wafers are free moving before attempting to use a lishi.
