A light bulb went on over my head and I retrieved the bushing from the ash tray and installed bushing into the hole through which the pin movest -- the bushing just snaps into the hole -- and afterwards the pin clearly extended out far enough to engage the hole in the lid's tab to securely lock the lid.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have a weird issue with the fuel door, it does not lock correctly. I see the actuator pin move, but it sorta pushes out, then goes back in a bit when locked. Same when unlocked. I am missing the bushing: 997-624-505-00-M100 The other odd thing, when I pull on the manual release - it does not even budge...not even 1mm. I would prefer to have the door lock as it is intended...but looking at the instructions here: http://www.renntech.org/forums/index...door-actuator/ that seems like quite a lot of work for such minor gain. Any thoughts as to what may be going on?

POST 2Original post

I had the same problem with the pin extending and then retracting. I just grabbed the pin and pushed the rubber collar back with a pair of needle nose pliers. The rubber collar is now on the other side of the hole. Don't know if this is correct, but it works for me.

Second that. Similar situation in my Boxster. Spotted some plastic bushing/collar at bottom of fuel filler cavity and didn't know where it was supposed to go and put it in ash tray. Sometime after this I noticed even though rest of the locks working the gas filler lid lock not working, locking. I worked the lock button and watched the pin action and noticed the same behavior. A light bulb went on over my head and I retrieved the bushing from the ash tray and installed bushing into the hole through which the pin movest -- the bushing just snaps into the hole -- and afterwards the pin clearly extended out far enough to engage the hole in the lid's tab to securely lock the lid. Sincerely, Macster.

That bushing is completely absent...amazing it would make that much difference. There goes another $1.50 to Pelican.
