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

Minor problem - but irritating none the less. Pulled the filled cap release in my 3.2 and it came off in my hand - and I now cannot get to the tank to fill her up. Is there an easy repair solution (or even a temporary work-around) or do I need to take it in to see my friendly professionals? Toby Migration info. Legacy thread was 38920

POST 2Original post

I seem to remember that you are able to reach the cable and give it a pull - just open the bonnet and look behind the carpet?? Hope I'm right - good luck - LJ Migration info. Legacy thread was 38925

POST 3Original post

You should be able to gently insert a screwdriver into the gap between the flap and the body and ease back the catch gently to release the flap. There is not a massive clip holding it in place - just a plastic catch. If you cant do it, find a local 993 - get him to demonstrate what it looks like under the flap so you know what to aim for.
