How to repair the fuel tank cap of the Mercedes A-Class

Model: Mercedes Classe A W176 - Years 2012-2018
Part: Fuel cap

In this video, we can see how to repair the gas cap of the Mercedes Class A version W176; it is a fairly common problem on this model. It starts to get stuck during the summer and then in winter it remains completely closed, even when pressing repeatedly on the door, it does not open. It is therefore necessary to replace the closing mechanism. We must remove the mechanism located on the right side compared to the fuel cap. We access the door opening from inside the trunk, in the compartment located next to the door, and open it in an emergency. Then, using plastic spatulas, we remove the faulty opening mechanism and replace it with a new one that can be found on Amazon with the code B0CJQF9LNK at a price of 20.89 euros, with free delivery.
