I was much lazier than you. I just cut the wires to the actuator and spliced the new one in. but don't tell anybody...

I already had two failures of these ridiculous devices. I opened the actuator and deleted the electric lock, which ends up binding and failing, so that the cap always functions manually. Problem solved permanently.

I have a 2021 Passat and the gas flap opens when the doors are locked or unlocked. Was told by the dealer and VW corporate in Virginia that they no longer have a locking gas flap. When the dealer took it apart, the actuator did not have any electrical connections! Looking into it further. Great video and I'm sure its helpful for others.

Wait so they don’t have any electrical connections and they just open and close even if doors are locked or unlocked?

Thanks for posting - I just did this repair in under 10 mins by cutting the wire to the old one and the new one and just splicing back together.. Eliminates tearing the trunk apart and all the fishing of the wires. Worked great!

That's what I did. "Hey dad, can we just disconnect the battery and splice the new one in?" dad: "bah, I bet it's only hot when locking or unlocking 'snip'."

In this ase the rotating lock pin has been removed however if it sticks, I have a very simply fix once you understand what the issue is. The rotating shaft has an o- ring behind to prevent ingress of water to the electrical portion. After 5 years or so it gets dry and binds the shaft. Solution is simply, get a cotton bud and apply some brake fluid to the shaft then operate it in and out to lubricate the O-ring. Problem solved. First check that the central locking does work on the door (test)

Hey man, glad you did a short video on this verse. Many people like myself fall under such category. Sometimes we forgot that worship is unto The Lord and no one else. I'm glad I came across this video. May God bless you, your ministry and your church.
