Have you checked for any leaks from the rear washer pipe? That can sometimes set the boot warning light off.
Other than that it might be that the contact for it has corroded, or some other annoying electrical thing.

yea when mine did that it was because of a leaking rear washer jet in the boot panel

Do the mk5 1.4 match have this? if so mine has never worked since i had it.....also the light in the boot has never worked. changed the bulb to no avail. maybe a fuse. just too lazy to figure out which one haha

If my old 1.0E had it, I'm pretty sure a 1.4 Match would have it.
