I had my Superb washed in the washing machine at the local service center an hour ago. The car was locked during the wash as I folded the mirrors. After the wash the fuel cap cover won't unlock. I have locked and unlocked several times without success.

 

Any suggestions on how to resolve the problem?

I need to refuel tomorrow and all garages are closed for the week-end.

 

I don't think my Superb has let me down this way before.

There have been a few reports of similar problems. Perhaps there is something in these links that you could try.

Thanks Denis

 

I tried the advises from your links but without success. In the a part of the locking mechanism in the lid broke and I could open the lid. The damage is minor and doesn't need a repair right now..

I know it's silly but try 2 presses of the fob when you unlock the car.
