Fuel tank pressure?!

[tonipieleanu]

One thing I noticed lately but I'm not sure how it should behave...

When you open the fuel cap do you hear pressure releasing from the tank? Should I hear anything or not? This applies only after driving the car for a while...

I remember from the other car that I could hear the pressure getting out when I was opening the fuel cap, but I don't remember how it was with the 1.8T when I first got it.

Doesn't anyone remember from the last time they fueled up the car?

I know when I "vent" my ibiza when filling it releases the pressure so you can fit more diesel in. Have noticed it on occasion when I open the cap to fill as well.
