Mokka fuel flap issue

Hey, I'm having a weird issue with my 2014 diesel Vauxhall Mokka at 192349 kilometers. The fuel flap release isn't working. I'm getting error codes, and I can't lock or unlock the fuel filler flap. It's even affecting other things in the car. I'm thinking it might be the linkage. Anyone else seen this?

That's strange! I also drive a Mokka, and I had a similar fuel door problem a few years ago. It wouldn’t open, but I didn't get any error codes. Have you checked the electric actuator? I'm no expert, but it could be that.

Thanks! I was thinking about the electric actuator. Since you had a similar issue, can you tell me more about it? Did the fuel door fail sometimes at first, and did you have any other electrical issues?

Yes, it started happening sometimes. At first, I would press the release button a few times, and it would eventually open. Then, one day, it just stopped working. I tried to fix it myself, but without the right tools and knowledge, it's hard. I went to a workshop, and they replaced the actuator.

Thanks for the info! I think I'll visit my local workshop too. It sounds like my issue is similar. The actuator, linkage, or both might need to be fixed. After replacing the broken parts for 210€, the fuel door finally opens, and all the errors are gone. Thanks again for the help!
