- '06 Jetta...TDI/5spd :) >>>now a '15 Passat TDI/DSG
OK, I have a '15 Passat TDI and the fuel door decides to not open when pressed (press door to open press door to close...no interior door "release" button). When I fuel up I have to pry it open with a wrapped (to protect paint) screw driver or slim pry. It then will open and close normally, until the next time I need fuel. I've cleaned and lubed that little rotating plunger which has not helped. Appears to be fairly common, only because there is much info out there on the web about it.
Does anyone have a tried and true remedy for this? Does it come down to replacing the fuel door assembly as the only cure? T.I.A.
