Peugeot Partner Fuel Flap Problem

Help! My 2021 Peugeot Partner (gasoline engine) has a seriously annoying problem. The fuel flap won't open! I'm getting errors and can't unlock it with the key fob. Plus, weirdly, some other stuff on the car isn't working right either. Any ideas?

The symptoms you describe, particularly the error messages and the fuel flap issue, do point to a potential problem with the fuel flap release mechanism, possibly the electric actuator. Are you able to hear any sound, like a motor whirring, when you try to release it via the key fob?

No sounds at all, completely dead. Is that a common thing? Where exactly is this actuator located? Maybe I can check the linkage.

Given that there's no sound, it does seem the electric actuator has failed. A defective linkage is also a possibility. I'd recommend having a workshop diagnose the issue. It is likely that it needs replacing.

Cheers! Took your advice and got it checked. Turns out the actuator was shot. Cost me 210€ to get it fixed, but at least I can fill up the tank again!
