Hi. Does anyone have info, pictures/video/ please , on how to replace a fuel filler actuator solenoid on a 19 reg Karoq?. I've got the new part but unsure how to go about changing. Many thanks.

you need to remove the entire flap , it only hold in with plastic clips. You need to puncture the plastic in the marked areas and insert a screwdriver to press the clips.

Many thanks andreiro, I'll be able to sort tomorrow now, save having to keep thumping the lid all the time. Much obliged.

All done now and job completed, but did break 2 out of the 4 clips whilst trying to remove. Not as easy as I thought. Put double sided tape on to secure.

Is it essential to puncture the plastic to pop the filler cover out? I presume it is designed to be a one fit deal?
