C4 Fuel Flap Problem

Hi, I have a problem with my 2007 Citroen C4 diesel. The fuel flap won't open. I get an error message and can't lock or unlock it. Also, some other functions seem disabled. Any ideas?

Hello. I own a C4 as well and had a very similar problem. It's likely an issue with the electric actuator that controls the fuel filler flap release. Have you tried using the key fob to specifically trigger the fuel filler release button, if your model has one? Sometimes, that can bypass a more general electrical fault. If the linkage is defective that can also cause the issue.

Thanks for the info. I don't think I have a separate button on the key fob for the fuel flap. Where exactly is this electric actuator located? Is it easy to get to?

Unfortunately, I am not certain of the actuator's location. It is quite difficult to access it without the right tools. In my case, the error memory was also throwing errors, and I decided to take it to a workshop. It's possible to diagnose the problem more accurately there.

Thanks! I took it to the shop. As you predicted, it was a defective linkage. Cost me 210€ to fix.
