Opening the Fuel Cap on an Audi A1

Model: Audi A1 8X, MK 1 - Years 2010-2018
Part: Fuel cap

In this video, you will learn how to open the fuel cap on a second-generation Audi A1; the procedure is very simple but not intuitive for newer cars. First, ensure all doors are closed: then, press the fuel flap on the left side to open it; next, simply unscrew the fuel cap to insert the fuel pump and refuel. This will only work if the vehicle is unlocked and you have the key nearby; otherwise, the flap will not open.
