flyfs6 Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 I went to refuel my 9N yesterday and realised the fuel cap was stuck. The lock just would release. I have somehow managed to force the cap open without damaging anything. But now obviously it wont close properly because the locking pin's still down and wont move. It wouldn't be because somebody trying to help tucked the boot carpet in on the otherside wall where there's a few plugs and a black metal wire (in plastic). Would it? If there is a way of checking any wires running to the fuel filler neck - could somebody give hints as to how I can remove the boot trim. Any suggestions on how to sort this one out? If I cant sort it, then I will have to wait for when my car's going in for its service and ask the guys there (VW tech doing private work) if they can fix it. They ought to know how - but I couldn't get hold of him last night either. ------------------------------------------------------------ Update : I took parcel shelf trim off and some side plastic. Got to the mechanism that lowers/retracts the locking pin. Although its plugged in, its not working. Any ideas if there's a fuse to it or what else to check? Either its knackered or perhaps a fuse. I guess having a electric tester would have helped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daz60932 Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Id go for the solenoid that activates the locking rod (white box with japanese style writing on it) Wouldnt hurt to check the fuses, but its very rare this is the cause Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
