When you press this, is the fuel cap meant to pop out? When i press mine, it seems to just unlock it, and i have to wedge my finger/nail underneath to prise it open????

I am doing a spark plug change soon and might as well do a compression test while they are out, would like to know how to shut off the fuel pump for the test please?

Well I seem to be getting a small fault with my car that comes and goes. Once I clear the fault it's fine, then goes into limp mode, then sometimes comes out of it during the same drive, then goes back in etc etc. Always this code here: 17536 - Fuel Trim; Bank 1 (Mult): System too Lean...

Is anybody running their cupra on shell optimax or BP ultimate? If so have you noticed increased performance and/or economy? Is it worth the extra few pence?
