Yesterday after washing the Passat my wife was drying it and opened the fuel door to get the excess water out. I heard her yelling about how she couldn't wait to turn the car in. The fuel door was loose and wobbling up and down. I decided to take it apart today to try to fix it. It was very easy to repair.
Open the fuel door and remove the single T20 screw below the lock.
Grab the top left corner and pull out on it working your way down.
It'll swing out to the right.
Pull the overflow drain hose out of the rubber piece.
There's a plastic pin holding the door to the rear of the assembly.
Use a hammer and a punch or screwdriver to push the pin back in place.
Reassemble it.
It took less than 5 minutes to fix it.
Hopefully this can help someone else
