Previous Audi models did not have electronic protection for the fuel flap, but this has been introduced in newer models. This means that if the vehicle is locked, you will not be able to open the fuel tank to refuel with petrol or diesel.

To open the flap, unlock the vehicle with the remote key and then press on the flap with two fingers to open it. Next, turn the cap to refuel. To close the flap, first turn the cap to the closed position and then push the flap.
