Petrol Flap

Swellman · Jul 23, 2008

The petrol flap on my P38 wont open. The switch on the dash is depressed. Any ideas on how to fix this. Thanks

No1 adjustment tool?

If i recall correctly, inside the boot, on the right hand side, above the accessory socket is a flap, open the flap and there should be a cable release for the fuel flap - just pull it....

I have a similair problem (I think). Take key out and press the button several times fairly fast it opens on the third or fourth press (well does for me).

Drive in to a river and leave for 2 minutes...makes everything work at once including opening the filler

I havn't been able to find a manual release on my P38.

I took mine to the garage and they fixed it. It needs just the gentlest of presses. Remember it must be switched off first!

The circuit for the flap release is via the driver's door lock. If this is faulty
then the flap release will not operate - same lock also controls the tailgate
mechanismn. I assume the flap mechanismn is free to operate.

If the button is depressed why don't you just cheer it up?
