Getz fuel flap issue

Hi, my 2005 Hyundai Getz diesel with 50k km has a fuel flap release that's stopped working. The error memory has an error stored, and now I can't lock or unlock the fuel filler flap. Plus, some other functions seem off. Has anyone had this issue? I suspect it's the release mechanism, maybe a defective linkage?

Hey! I had a similar problem with my Getz. Couldn't open the fuel door, and it was a real pain at the gas station. I remember something about the lock actuator acting up. Did you check that?

Thanks for the quick reply! You mean the lock actuator for the fuel flap? How did you figure out that was the problem? And what functions were unavailable on your Getz?

Yep, the fuel flap lock actuator. To be honest, I didn't figure it out myself. I took it to a workshop, they scanned for errors and found it right away. I remember the central locking was going nuts sometimes, and the interior light wouldn't always turn on when I opened the door. I'd definitely recommend getting it checked out by a professional. They can pinpoint the exact cause.

Okay, thanks for the detailed info! Sounds like I'm heading to the workshop then. They quoted me around 210€ for the repair, hopefully that sorts it. Appreciate the help!
