How to Open the Fuel Flap on a Volkswagen Jetta

Model: Volkswagen Jetta MK 5, A5 - Years 2005-2010
Part: Fuel cap

How do you open the fuel flap on a Volkswagen? Unlock the flap using the key buttons, then open the fuel door located on the right side of the car's body (press on the flap to open it). Once the flap is open, you will find the black plastic fuel cap: unscrew it and remove it from the tank opening (hook the cap onto the flap). After use, tighten the cap back onto the thread of the opening. Close the fuel flap first with your hand and then with the central locking (key remote buttons).
