How to Open Fuel Filler Cap on MK6 Golf
« on: 10 January 2014, 18:38 »
Right, I know this is a really stupid question, I've had the car for a year now and I'm not sure if I'm opening the fuel filler cap right. . . How should I be doing this!?

Push it in and it will spring open far enough for you to get hold of and open completely

Nice one, That's how I've been doing it, but it takes some force to push it in to open it ... My mate tried doing it before, he had a leon and I think that had a button to open the cap ... it just dawned on me that I might have been forcing it for the past year haha!

As above you just push it and it springs open. Similar to glass fronted cabinet doors as its the same type of catch.
My leon has a button that pops the flap.

It might be a bit broken. Mines a little stiff sometimes, you have to push in the right place but when I had it in for a service they said the push button is broken and if I wanted to have it fixed, then they quoted £150, err no you alright it works good enough for me :smiley:
