Just thought id let everyone know what worked for me when my fuel cap wouldn't release, no matter what I did because of no release cable in the boot. Holding down the fuel cap to release pressure on the pin whilst I unlocked the car was what finally released it and it's back to working normal. No idea why this actually worked but it did.

Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

Get the fuel flap actuator replaced. Otherwise you'll have to break the flap off when it finally gives out.'07 Transporter 1.9 TDI

I tried to open mine the other day & it wouldn't open. It may have been that I didn't push it hard enough but today I had a look after reading this thread & decided to put a small amount of Teflon grease on the hook & hole in the flap. Tried several times & it works every time now.Understand how it works, troubleshoot logically BEFORE replacing parts.
