In this video I'm helping out my dad with replacing the actuator on his VW Scirocco Fuel tank flap. Some of the VW models including Golf's and Tiguan's have issues with the fuel flaps sticking and not opening. This video should help you fix it. Good luck.
Sincere apologies to all those Mini Cooper followers on the challenge but I figured this might help out some VW owners.

* Always best to check the part is right for your model. I believe this is suitable for VW:Golf 5 (1K) Variant 2007 - 2009, Golf 6 (5K) Variant 2010 - 2014, Scirocco 2009 - on,Tiguan (5N) 2008 - 2015
I am assuming the fitting for a Golf and Tiguan would be similar to the Scirocco but don't hate on me if I am wrong!

Welcome. Pleased it helped 👌

Should add- I've just used your vid to do this. I ordered the same part you used- the cheap one made of Chinesium. Hope it lasts.

@midlifemini 5 месяцев назад

Haha, fingers crossed. Certainly cheaper than taking it to a garage. Good luck. Hope it works out okay 👌

Don't worry you will get a whole load of different problems with a mini. Nice bit of screwdriver polishing of the paint work there. Ha Good vid very useful.

@midlifemini 5 месяцев назад

Haha thanks for the comment. Yes that screwdriver polishing moment was a little cringe.

Why do you need to change the wire as well which requires you to remove the trim? Can you not just change the locking unit itself?

@midlifemini 13 дней назад

The wire is hard wired into the switch. I guess you could try and pull the switch out and cut the wires and re-connect the new switch. That would be up to you if you wanted to try it though.

You knock the VW Scirocco but praise your mini which hasn't even got a decent engine but a Peugeot engine so at least the Scirocco has a great German engine in it and more solidly built

@midlifemini Месяц назад

It’s merely banter. VW’s are great vehicles. I’ve had a few myself. I hear what you’re saying about the Peugeot engine in the Mini. I’ve heard many say the same.

Okay I'll forgive you 😂
