Help!! fuel flap stuck

[audi999]

I have a 2017 a4 avant tfsi and my fuel flap is stuck closed. Central locking working fine. I gave tried the red manual lanyard inside the boot and that feels solid, as if it's doing nothing. I've sprayed plenty of WD40 behind the flap. I'd appreciate any help

Hi. I believe the lock spirals into the mechanism. Try pushing the flap opposite side to the hinge as you pull the lanyard. The mechanism may have jammed in the down position.
