How to emergency unlock the fuel tank cap of the Audi TT MK1

Model: Audi Tt 8N, MK 1 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Fuel cap

If the fuel cap of our Audi TT gets stuck and we can't refuel, it's a big problem. Fortunately, Audi engineers have thought of this possibility and have developed a system to solve this issue. We need to go inside the car, in the rear, where the fuel cap is located. We will find, shaped in the carpet, a sort of small door. Let's open it, and inside we will find a yellow cord that we need to pull. It is specifically for these emergency situations, so we can open the door and refuel. But let's not forget to have it checked by a body shop: the cord is only for emergencies.
