Kudos! Well done… I doubt I would be able to do it with both hands, and you managed to get it done with only one while recording. Thank you! You saved the day. Cheers.
This is what i have to do on my car. Exactly. Real pain! I wish they made a mechanism so that you can open your fuel cap from inside of the car. This is really painful to watch and to do. I tried this twice and both times ended up with failure. Now im looking for autoelectrician to solve this for me, because if i continue working on it i will destroy all of my car :)
Thanks, another video to help with golf mk5, cheers. Had mine go on skoda Octavia A7 last week. Took out and disconnected, now opens and closes all the time. It wouldn't open. Trick!! press open /close on key fob until flap opens then take apart and disconnect
How did you open the flap at first? (I mean, the flap was locked and could not open, that why you changed the actuator). I managed to open it by removing the trunk plastic (clips as shown it this video), then I poped the black cylindrical silicon seal to access the back of the actuator, and eventually pressed the manual activation up. It released the flap open. Thanks for the video. You saved me something like 200+ euros...
Very helpful video, thanks! *whoops, never mind, I see that the actuator is sold as a complete unit as you have it, so I guess there's no connector @ actuator to make it easier/faster.
That’s exactly what I thought myself. But my way would be to cut the wires, slip shrink sleeve onto them, and solder the connections onto the new one . Heat the shrink sleeves over the join.
@@alaincortes122 splicing the wires is exactly what I'm going to do. No need to take all that other stuff off. I'll make it a 15 minute job instead haha with a break for some beer
Great video, thanks. The problem I have is the flap won't open in the first place. I saw one comment here about locking and unlocking until it opens but that hasn't worked. Any suggestions on how to open it please?

Thanks for the tutorial. I just replaced this in my Golf 7. Also works there!👍🏻
I changed the actuator through the headlight hole without taking the trim off. Slipped my hand behind the trim, found the connector.
Thanks I just did that with mine today. I also looped a piece of twine on the end so I could feed the new connector back.
Thank You so much Bro 👍👍
Removing the interior trim can be the most difficult part with some VAG models... If the socket/plug is on the actuator itself, it's a 15 minute job.

Solved by replacing the lock mechanism part.

I saw elsewhere to lightly push the fuel door whilst unlocking the car, of course my wife decided to break mine clear off including the actual door.
Good work, especially while recording with one hand.
Thank you
Thank you for the video. It was very helpful for exchanging the part!
Very good necrit thank you
Very helpful video, thanks!

why have you got to take all the inside panel off, why dont you cut the wires and put a waterproof connector on

Hi, have the same problema, and thinking on that harness idea, I would do it, what the hell!!! 🤣

Nice tip. I gonna do that
Thanks!!! This helped me replace my bad one on my Jetta 2016 mk6. :-)

You can pry it open easily without breaking anything.
I broke mine :(
Tap on the flap where the lock is, keep on tapping + opening/closing a lot of times. And be very, very patient...
thanks for that , top video.
Excellent, very detailed.i wonder should the drain hose be pushed further into shrowd rubber
Hello! Is yours mk5 golf? Because I have exactly same part and number on my mk6 golf.. So i can take it from scrap yard from a mk5..

@@golfwagen4173 I would say fuel overflow for spills during refuelling. Thanks for the video, helped with Superb mk2.
The same for polo essences 1,4 2013

@@brabusmathew5388 Not really, you have to poke holes in the plastic to release some stupid clips.
