Kudos! Well done… I doubt I would be able to do it with both hands, and you managed to get it done with only one while recording. Thank you! You saved the day. Cheers.
This is what i have to do on my car. Exactly. Real pain! I wish they made a mechanism so that you can open your fuel cap from inside of the car. This is really painful to watch and to do. I tried this twice and both times ended up with failure. Now im looking for autoelectrician to solve this for me, because if i continue working on it i will destroy all of my car :)
Thanks, another video to help with golf mk5, cheers. Had mine go on skoda Octavia A7 last week. Took out and disconnected, now opens and closes all the time. It wouldn't open. Trick!! press open /close on key fob until flap opens then take apart and disconnect
How did you open the flap at first? (I mean, the flap was locked and could not open, that why you changed the actuator). I managed to open it by removing the trunk plastic (clips as shown it this video), then I poped the black cylindrical silicon seal to access the back of the actuator, and eventually pressed the manual activation up. It released the flap open. Thanks for the video. You saved me something like 200+ euros...
That’s exactly what I thought myself. But my way would be to cut the wires, slip shrink sleeve onto them, and solder the connections onto the new one . Heat the shrink sleeves over the join.
@@alaincortes122 splicing the wires is exactly what I'm going to do. No need to take all that other stuff off. I'll make it a 15 minute job instead haha with a break for some beer
Very helpful video, thanks! *whoops, never mind, I see that the actuator is sold as a complete unit as you have it, so I guess there's no connector @ actuator to make it easier/faster.
Great video, thanks. The problem I have is the flap won't open in the first place. I saw one comment here about locking and unlocking until it opens but that hasn't worked. Any suggestions on how to open it please?
