In this video, you can see how to manually open the fuel cap of the Volkswagen Polo if it gets stuck and you cannot reopen it with just the remote. In such cases, sometimes a bit of determination is needed.

Position your left hand on the right side of the fuel door, then tap firmly with your right hand on the left side of the fuel door. Now, use the remote to lock and then unlock the car.
