it could be the little motor that was the problem on our skoda octavia 1.6. If you dismantle the plastic housing near the lock you will find a lead plugged into a motor. Im pretty sure you will need to replace this.

I'd try getting at the lock by climbing into the boot via the rear seats - you should be able to flick the operating lever with a screwdriver to at least get the boot to open. Reckon you'll need a new catch, or the adjustment is too tight.
