Kudos! Well done… I doubt I would be able to do it with both hands, and you managed to get it done with only one while recording. Thank you! You saved the day. Cheers.

Thanks for the tutorial. I just replaced this in my Golf 7. Also works there!👍🏻

Removing the interior trim can be the most difficult part with some VAG models... If the socket/plug is on the actuator itself, it's a 15 minute job.

How did you open the flap at first? (I mean, the flap was locked and could not open, that why you changed the actuator). I managed to open it by removing the trunk plastic (clips as shown it this video), then I poped the black cylindrical silicon seal to access the back of the actuator, and eventually pressed the manual activation up. It released the flap open. Thanks for the video. You saved me something like 200+ euros...

I saw elsewhere to lightly push the fuel door whilst unlocking the car, of course my wife decided to break mine clear off including the actual door.

I changed the actuator through the headlight hole without taking the trim off. Slipped my hand behind the trim, found the connector.

Thanks I just did that with mine today. I also looped a piece of twine on the end so I could feed the new connector back.

Thanks, another video to help with golf mk5, cheers. Had mine go on skoda Octavia A7 last week. Took out and disconnected, now opens and closes all the time. It wouldn't open. Trick!! press open /close on key fob until flap opens then take apart and disconnect

This is what i have to do on my car. Exactly. Real pain! I wish they made a mechanism so that you can open your fuel cap from inside of the car. This is really painful to watch and to do. I tried this twice and both times ended up with failure. Now im looking for autoelectrician to solve this for me, because if i continue working on it i will destroy all of my car :)

Solved by replacing the lock mechanism part.

Very helpful video, thanks! *whoops, never mind, I see that the actuator is sold as a complete unit as you have it, so I guess there's no connector @ actuator to make it easier/faster.

Hello! Is yours mk5 golf? Because I have exactly same part and number on my mk6 golf.. So i can take it from scrap yard from a mk5..

Great video, thanks. The problem I have is the flap won't open in the first place. I saw one comment here about locking and unlocking until it opens but that hasn't worked. Any suggestions on how to open it please?

You can pry it open easily without breaking anything.

Tap on the flap where the lock is, keep on tapping + opening/closing a lot of times. And be very, very patient...

why have you got to take all the inside panel off, why dont you cut the wires and put a waterproof connector on
@davidcooper48603 жыл бұрын
That’s exactly what I thought myself. But my way would be to cut the wires, slip shrink sleeve onto them, and solder the connections onto the new one . Heat the shrink sleeves over the join.
