I need to replace the fuel cap actuator, and wondering how to remove it. Do I need access from the boot to unscrew it or can it pull off from the fuel cap side?

I was hoping it was some sort of a pull off fitting. By the way, it still works at times and doesn't at others. Do you think WD40 would work? Last edited: Aug 13, 2020

You have an 8V, this is the 8P section, different setup. Reactions: ZeA38VSport
