Petrol Cap broken

Does any one know how much the solinoid is for the filler flap. and could i get one from VW garage cos the SEAT on is a bit of a treck.

Also does in include the plastic thing that catches the flap when locking

Thanks

If it's not the button maybe the flap is sticking. Have you tried getting someone to pull it while you press the button?

hi, having the same problem, but a quick fix is to pull carpet back in boot and put your hand up inside the panel and feel a metal rod, pull it back about 4/5inches (well......feels like that anyway) and the flap will open.
