Locking fuel flap

[Ian_A4]

Hi ppl have just noticed tonight that wen i lock the car the fuel flap dosent lock so you can open it when the car is locked. Any one else experienced any problems. cheers

Hi, i've got the same problem on a bora but unsure if they use the same pneumatic system as the a4 / passat. if i get anything through i'll pass it on.

apparently you can replace the part that locks the fuel cap but there may be a way to avoid buying this from the dealer.
