Today we will explain how to open the fuel door of the Audi A3. To perform this operation, first we need to unlock the vehicle by pressing the opening button on the remote control. Once the vehicle is unlocked, we can position ourselves in front of the fuel door and apply light pressure on it, the door will open and we can remove the cap to refuel.

If the cap does not come off because it is stuck, simply spray some WD 40 on it and wait a few minutes before trying to open it again. If the fuel door does not open, it may be necessary to replace the fuse dedicated to the opening and closing control unit.
