Cant open my petrol flap
« on: 05 January 2007, 18:48 »
Hello All


I have a Golf Gti P reg 1997 8 valve, the problem I have is i can't put petrol in the car due to a fuse blowing two days ago, this fuse blew the cig lighter, inside lights and stopped my central locking from working.

I bought a pack of fuses today and replace all the blown fuse that being two in all, the thing is the central door locking still don't work and the petrol flap I can't open, to make matters worse I don't have enough petrol to get the car to a garage to have it looked at.

The only fuse box I could find was under the drivers side dash, there are no relays so I then checked in the engine bay and found no fuse box or relays, is there another fuse box on these cars? or a way to open the petrol flap in case the motor failed for the lock.

Last of all I don't use the key fob this is all done by key in door, only had the car a few weeks and no batts or cover on the key, but the central locking was working fine by key in door.

Hello mate, if it's a P reg, then it's a Mk3, not a Mk4 - try the Mk3 section for size.

Failing that have a gander in the owners manual as the Mk4 has a manual release in the O/S rear panel.
