I assume the cable is broken; go thru the hatch or trunk and remove carpeting etc. on that side; you should be able to gain access to it. I hope this helps you. Mark unlock the doors and push on the left side of the fuel door
When the fuel door is jammed on a 1999 VW Jetta the latch need to be reached from inside the trunk compartment. Removing the panel inside the trunk and reaching the latch from behind will open the fuel door.
You have to unlock all of your doors from INside your vehichle....can't remember off hand how...I had the same problem last night with my newly acquired jetta last night..
On the 2000 LS, the fuel door is tied to the door locks. When the doors are locked, so is the fuel door. When the doors are UNLOCKED, so is the fuel door. When the fuel door is unlocked you can easily open it.
use a hammer
Push on the fuel door itself to open. There is NO remote fuel door release. Push on the fuel door itself to open. There is NO remote fuel door release.
depends on the year, older ones just open, newer ones have a lever you have to pull, probably by the drivers seat on the left on the floor, or in the glove box, im not sure.
break it more
If it's like my 1994, there's a pull lever sort of under the steering wheel at the bottom of the dash. One is for the hood, the other is for the fuel door.
WHEN YOU OPEN THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR THERE IS A PANEL. OPEN THE PANEL AND THERE ARE ALL YOUR FUSES
Can you get access to it by removing the interior/trunk panel? Mark
I had the same problem with my '96 Passat when i got it. All i had to do was to put my key in the driver side door and wait until all the doors were unlocked. That unlocked my fuel door as well. you.
i cant open my fuel door
