Stuart's Volkswagen Golf Mk 7/VII Forum

Did you have any more problems after your mod (https://www.stuartdalby.co.uk/vwgolfmk7/sticking-fuel-filler-cover/index.php)?
I'm having the same issue with my filler cap (2020 VW Golf Mk7.5).

Thanks
Andrew

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for your email.

I've not had any problems with the cover sticking since my mod.

I think there is a problem with the actuator which locks the cover on my car. There's often a buzzing noise from the actuator upon locking the car and I often see a fault code logged in VCDS. I think it has been doing this all the time I've had the car and I've never found the cover to be unlocked when it shouldn't be so I'm not too concerned.

Hope that helps,
Stuart

Hi Stuart,

Thanks for getting back to me.

I think I'll give your mod a try. I'm at the point where I have to wrestle with it every time I need to fill up now. I definitely seems that it's simply friction preventing t from opening though.

FYI, I don't hear any buzzing when I lock my car so you might have an additional issue there.

Thanks for your help,
Andy
