V70 fuel flap fault

Fuel flap issues, eh? Sounds familiar. I had something similar with my V70. Is the central locking playing up at all? It might be a fuse or a dodgy earth causing the actuator to not work properly.

Central locking seems fine, which is odd. If it was a fuse, wouldn't other things be affected? And if it's the earth, wouldn't that produce more widespread random faults? Any idea where the actuator is located? Trying to eliminate the easy stuff first.

Yeah, good point about the fuse. Worth checking anyway, just in case. If the central locking is fine then it's pointing towards a faulty actuator, or the wiring between the car and the fuel filler flap. I didn't fancy ripping apart the car to find out. I just took mine to a trusted workshop and they sorted it.

Appreciate the insight. I ended up taking it in. Turns out it was the electric actuator as suspected, plus some associated wiring. 210€ later and all sorted! Thanks again for confirming my suspicions.
