The pipe connecting the fuel cap to the tank runs behind the wheel arch and can deteriorate over time due to corrosion; to replace it, lift the vehicle and remove the right rear wheel (passenger side), then take off the wheel arch liner by releasing the retaining clips; once you reach the pipe, unscrew the fixing bolts of the support brackets and finally open the fuel cap door to unscrew the screws securing the flange of the cap itself and remove the door complete with the internal rubber lining: at this point, the pipe can be removed.

Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
