Hi guys, I own a Skoda Fabia 1 6Y 1.2 BMD and I can open the fuel flap and the cap freely even if the car is locked by simply pulling it (not even hard) and there is no button inside the car for it (or at least not from what I saw). I doubt this is supposed to happen so how is the correct system here? Shouldn't there be a button or some sort of leaver for it? What am I missing?

My fuel door is like that as standard but the cap has a lock on it. Your cap might have been replaced with one without a lock.

I just checked behind the filler cap and there is no system to lock the flap so I believe you are right, the cap was replaced.

Is the cap using the same key as the one that starts the engine or it has a different key?

It uses the same key on mine

Thank you guys for such fast replies. I found an aftermarket cap with 2 keys to sort it out.

So I got a new filler cap with key lock, if unlocked the fillet spins freely and if locked the fillet doesn't spin. That's not working for me, even if locked, you can unscrew the cap freely. What am I missing? Is something missing on my car that should lock the filler cap in place? Can someone make some photos on their car so I can compare it to mine?

 

Thank you!

Dude, seriously?

 

The idea is that when the cap spins freely it can't be undone.

Found the issue, there is a seal inside the cap that was slightly over the movement fillet part which prevent it going in all the way. After pushing the seal slightly back, the cap screws on all the way and spins freely, it works now. Thank you!
