Hi
There is a small solenoid in the fuel flap that pops out when the car is locked these fail regularly. I've had 2 on my B6 A4 and a mate has had one on his B6 A4 a common problem it seems.

I think my lock has stopped working.

On the avant model have you got to remove the sub to get to it? As i cant see anyother way?

Thanks

do you need it to unlock so you can fill up or is it just not locking when you lock the car ?

Just noticed the flap is not locking on my A4 Avant, with the rising cost of fuel and potential fuel strike ahead the need to fix it becomes a little more urgent with a tank full of diesel now well over a £100!

The Haynes manual suggests removal of all the internal side trim (which is a nightmare), but have noticed from the B8 forums that the solenoid can be replaced from the outside, does the same apply to the the B6/7?

Any help appreciated.
