Thanks for the input Madmods
So, another day, another two jobs to tackle
First, I decided to replace my coolant cap.. went for the newest one off ebay.
Then, I decided to research why my remote trunk didnt work. I could hear the motor running as i held the key button down a few secs, no action. Decided to remove the lid and see whats what. Turns out the release cable was broke
No biggie I figured, but turns out they are like $170
Damn... looking into just mending the tip of the cable, I dont a whole new Trunk Lock Actuator:

The top black one is the trunk release cable the operates from inside the car, the bottom white one is the one for the remote and is the broken one:
