Fuel flap problem.....

[5am]

I seem to be having the problem as this guy on youtube:



Seems like the magnet has lost its power to keep the fuel flap closed so it can be locked into place by the pin.

Anyone had this problem? Whats the remedy?

Cheers.

There is no magnet You have broken "button", it's right below the lock pin. It has spring inside, and must hide&lock when pressed once, and push the flap out when pressed second time.

Ok, is this 'button' easy to change?

I had the same issue yesterday - I was at the petrol station ready to fill up, but guess what... I couldn't get the ****** flap open.
After a short while, I managed to get it open. Been OK since, but looks like the button may give up
So, I would too be interested in getting a replacement

Same happened on mine, applied some wd40 to the button and open/closed it a few times, been good as gold ever since.
