Fuel Filler Flap Struck locked

Featured Replies

Dear Experts ,

Please advice the best approach to investigate the struck Fuel Filler Flap for Skoda fabia mk2 .

Possibly cause :

  1. Fuel Filler Flap actuator/motor is faulty

  2. Wirirng is broken any where from BCM to Fuel Filler Flap

  3. Door actuator is faulty ( but possibility chances are low since all doors/boot locking/unlocking mechanism works perfectly fine with FOB or mechanically)

Possibly approach to idnetify the main issue

  1. Access the Fuel Filler Flap wiring connector after removing Wheel liner and check if it is getting required pulse when lock /unlock has been initiated. ( Any body have experience??)

  2. Remove panel inside boot , access it and check the same wirirng ( Any body have experience??)

It may be difficult to get voltage info going to Fuel Filler Flap from BCM.

Please advice best approach to open struck Fuel Filler Flap.

Many thanks

regards

Dear Experts,

Thought to update, Luckily I was able to open the fuel flap with just light wiggling and close and reopen all worked fine. Also I don't see any motor lock pin system ( no perturbed pins found when central lock /unlock key fob is pressed ) , but I can see that fuel cap have LOCK which works fine with car door mechanical key . Does this mean this is correct functionality please any thoughts ..

I looked PR code for my car which have number "4K3" and it states that "Door and tailgate/trunk lid locking 4K3 mechanism"- "Central locking w/ radio remote control, interior controls and SAFELOCK" and it does not mention about Filler Flap so I understand that this particular model MAY NOT not have motor/actuator fitted for fuel filter cap and which works with central locking system. Any thought please would be highly appreciated.

Thanks
