How to Open the Fuel Door on a Stuck Audi TT?

Model: Audi Tt MK 2, 8J - Years 2006-2014
Part: Fuel cap

One of the most common malfunctions in the Audi TT is the failure of the fuel door actuator. In these cases, you can still open the door using the emergency pull cord, which is located as shown in this video. As we can see, it is found inside the trunk, about halfway up the right wall. To activate it, simply remove the small circular cover, grab the red handle, and pull it towards you. Once the door is open, you can refuel and proceed with replacing the faulty actuator.

Under this panel, you will find the fuses, including the one for the central locking, which is indicated in the manual as number 14.
