petrol cap popper not working?
« 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


any of you got an idea of how i can fix it?
thanks! :smiley:
