Title: petrol cap popper not working?
Post by: rolty_gti on 02 June 2011, 16:08

hi guys,i know this has probably been covered before but here goes!
ever since i bought my mk4 gti i noticed the petrol cap release switch didn;t pop the cap cover open and i'm not sure how to go about fixing it?i'm not even sure it has the electric popper installed as there is just a clip in there that doesn;t do anything,here's a pic

Need to take the rear trim off in the boot to gain access

Its possible the solenoid has failed; new on from the dealers is about £12  :smiley:
