How to unlock the fuel flap on a Volkswagen Golf?

Model: Volkswagen Golf Golf IV, MK 4, Golf 4 - Years 1997-2003
Part: Fuel cap

If the fuel flap on your Volkswagen Golf does not unlock when the opening button inside the cabin is pressed, it is likely that the opening and closing mechanism has defects. A temporary solution to unlock the flap is to apply slight pressure at the bottom of the flap and insert your fingers underneath, on the left side. In this area, the specific mechanism will be present, which can be unlocked by levering from underneath. This is a temporary solution, and it is recommended to replace the mechanism as soon as possible.
