Could you elaborate on the specific symptoms you observed prior to identifying the faulty lock actuator Did you also experience any error messages or a degradation of other vehicle functions concurrently with the fuel flap malfunction

Yeah pretty much the same deal The fuel door wouldn't budge and I think I saw a generic 'electrical fault' warning light up on the dash Nothing else seemed to be affected though Honestly I just took it to the shop because I didn't want to mess with it They replaced the actuator and it was fixed in a couple of hours Probably best to get it checked out

I appreciate you confirming that I shall schedule an appointment with my trusted workshop to address the issue Based on your experience I anticipate a similar resolution hopefully without further complications I received a quote for approximately 210€ which seems reasonable considering the potential labor and parts involved Thank you again for your valuable input

That sounds frustrating I had something similar happen with my GLE The fuel door just wouldn't open I was worried I'd be stuck at the gas station It turned out to be a faulty lock actuator in the fuel filler area Did you check that
