Sounds like our motors were pretty similar, K27 is what mine was now that you mention it.
Since you are going to be DD'ing the TT I would go ahead and replace the frunk opener actuator. It is not too expensive but its a total pain in the a$$ to open the frunk when that thing craps out. Mine would work to open the frunk and put something in there but then not properly operate for about 4 hours. I had a suitcase that fit specifically in there and drove to the airport only to cancel my trip and drive home when the frunk would not open. Yes there is a pull cable in there but you need to take the inner wheel well off to get to it. I lengthened mine and hid it behind the right turn signal. Can you tell I was pissed about it not opening
