How to replace the fuel flap actuator in the Audi A3?

Model: Audi A3 8V, MK 3 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Fuel cap

In this tutorial we can see how to replace the fuel flap actuator in the Audi A3 8v. This is a very simple operation, we need a screwdriver and some spatula to remove the inserts. First, we insert the spatulas in the joint between the filler frame and the bodywork, then we try to unlock it. Once this is done, we temporarily remove the fuel cap to extract the frame and reinsert it once done. We unscrew the rear screws of the actuator, insert the spare part, test it and reassemble everything following the reverse procedure.
