    Is it one of the releases over the wheels? My left side release (which has been replaced and adjusted) tends to require a double hit of the release button on occasion.

    I'm going in for service tomorrow and will be denying any upgrades of the ECU. I see my ride as "It's not broken, don't fix it."

    Thanks for reminding me, as I need to write a note to myself.

    When my car is not on a level surface it needs a double hit as well. Making my list, checking it twice. \"/

    Yes that's the one, It has become progressively worse requiring as many as 4 attempts before opening.

    Sometimes a little lift of the bonnet will insure the second click works. \"/ But on a level surface --no worries.(for me)
