Bought a new (Topran brand from Run Auto Parts) fuel flap actuator - previous one was sticking. Anyway, when I took it all apart I realised the issue was a dodgy compression spring! The actuator itself is okay.

Problem is that I have lost the dodgy spring!

You can see...

Has anyone replaced the fuel flap actuator in the Passat CC (2009 2.0 TDI)? Flap not opening reliably - suspect the electromechanical actuator. I think the part number is 3C8810773A. Does anyone have any experience replacing this and can recommend a good place to purchase it?

There...

When I was filling up today I noticed on the inside of the Tiguan Petrol flap it says 95 RON and E5 and E10

I always put 95 RON Petrol into the Tiguan

As the Petrol Flap had the E10 sign, I assume that means the Tiguan maybe able to take E10 ?

The Petrol station...

Got a second-hand door lock mechanism (tested) to replace the one in the driver's door - the car locks/unlocks intermittently. I don't want to get stuck with a mechanism that doesn't work at all with the door stuck closed.

Thing is, the fuel flap doesn't open on occasions when the button/lever...

Hi Folks,
The fuel filler flap fell off my daughter's Mk4 Golf. I am left with the flap with Z-shaped spring attached, and the plastic fuller neck surround. It appears there is a pin of some sort which goes through, and the two lugs on the end of the flap hinge pushes back.. but will not stay...

Hi Folks

New here please be nice.

I cannot not get the fuel flap to open on my 2013 VW Polo. I am aware doors must be unlocked.

Is is there a manual release or some other solution?

thanks

Hi, weve been rolling with a failed and disconnected (electrically) inlet manifold flap for the last 100k kms and just ignoring the warning light. However the flap is leaking boost and oil. Im reluctant to spend ~$650 for a pierburg replacement (up to revision Q....). Has anyone tried one of the cheap...

Anyone bought one lately? I got one delivered today from Darkside and the intake trumpet no longer has the flap in it.

Hey guys so check engine light came on during the week on my TDI Jetta and got it scanned and came back to a fault code 012546 motor for intake manifold flap (v157). Turns out the flap doesnt close anymore as the plastic gears have broken inside! Apparently a common problem on petrols but not diesels?...

I hope there wasn't a thread about this already, couldn't see one.

Anyway, I got my hatchbag the other day, you know to keep the doge hair out of the car.

Only took two to three weeks to get here from order which is pretty quick seeing as they build to order.

I was wondering if had any experience with the Intake Manifold Flap Changeover. It is the assembly at item 4 in the attached diagram.

Where this connects to the shaft on the intake manifold (the actual shaft at the bottom of the actuator rod) had pushed out from the intake...

Hi, I've found this forum very helpful in the past but now I've come across a problem that I can't find much info on so I thought I better register and ask.
