UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Hi everybody.
Sometimes I got issue with the cap won’t open after unlock and it drives me crazy when I’m next to the petrol pump. So I will push the cap hard enough 2-3 times until it open. It happens quite sometime and intermittent but since the last days, it becomes worst and I hardly can open with the normal way.

anybody experiences the same thing?

my questions
1. is there any manual release for the cap in polo 6R? I know most other models got this manual release cable but i cant find in mine

2. Is the locking actuator need to be changed or simple remove and lubricate will make it smooth again?

Better replace it before it locks forever. It happens a lot
There is no manual release but the cable from Audi A1 fits

I looked into that, found the number but so far did no more, maybe I should learn from this and buy and fit that cable/tie/nylon cord maybe before I have any problems.

On a funny version of this, my wife's previous Polo came configured for "one press = driver's door unlocked" and I thought that it suited her use of that car so left it like that, my Passat came with one press opens all doors, so I stopped for fuel and almost got so annoyed that I ripped the fuel flap door off - I was stopped/saved by the lady manager of the fuel station, she suggested I press the "unlock" button again!! She was right!

any further information and reference on how to fit this A1 cable? I think its necessary now to have that manual option

Yes. i did enable the single door unlocking function for safety purpose. but no matter how many times i push the unlock button on the driver door, the flap still lock.
