My OPC have found the ring (attached to the short length of cord) as a separate part, I got the impression from your help above that it was attached to the solenoid and I would have to replace both.

Hi, a few weeks ago I had a low battery and I couldn't open the bonnet using the release button (so as to plug in the Ctek charger), so I was looking for a manual cable release and in a moment of stupidness/ignorance I pulled the filler flap ring in the driver's door jam.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

9 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi, a few weeks ago I had a low battery and I couldn't open the bonnet using the release button (so as to plug in the Ctek charger), so I was looking for a manual cable release and in a moment of stupidness/ignorance I pulled the filler flap ring in the driver's door jam. Thinking I would be hearing a bonnet release sound I kept pulling...!! Obviously it didn't release the bonnet and I've stretched the filler flap ring cord!!!!! Is this an easy fix to replace please or do I have to look in shame at it hanging down in the door jam every time I get in? Thanks!

POST 2Original post

O/s/f rear wheel arch section of liner needs removing , carbon canister needs either removing or pulling far enough forward to get access to the solenoid .. I managed replacing one a few weeks back by looping the hole end over the solenoid rod but it was a bit tricky .. if you can't do it this way then remove the solenoid and fit . Everything you need to undo is obvious so i wont go into detail . It's about a 30 min job with a ramp .

You're not the first, and I doubt you will be the last. Hope you get it sorted. Have a read here; http://www.911uk.com/viewtopic.php?p=1521559

Thanks both, another job for the list!

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

My OPC have found the ring (attached to the short length of cord) as a separate part, I got the impression from your help above that it was attached to the solenoid and I would have to replace both. Am I ok just to go ahead and order the ring & cord, will this easily attach to the old solenoid? Thanks!

POST 6Original post

yes you can replace just the coord .. it hooks over the solenoid rod .

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks. Picked one up yesterday, was only a £ or two.
