Hi,

Does anyone know where I can get the spring that pushes the fuel filler flap on 2002? I have lost mine. BTW what is it called?

check vagcat.com and have a look for yourself, you will need to register to use it.

Many thanks hibby

Are you sure the connector has not just become disconnected from the inside? This is the usual cause of the fuel filler cap not actually closing fully shut.

what he said - before anything else pull back the boot carpet trim and look at the little cable at the flap.

Often it pops out and doesnt work. Tape/wire ties it in it's little connector (you'll see what I mean).

Thanks for this Basil, just what was wrong with mine just.

Who says the search feature is useless.

Mine did it yesterday remedied it from this site

yep mine had done this and can confirm that the wire wiggling worked a treat
