fuel filler flap

[ucb]

A1 tdi 2014.

The fuel tank filler flap will only open if I click the key fob to open the car even when the car is already unlocked?

I am sure that previously it was open when the car doors were unlocked?

Any light on this?

 

Thanks

Probably a sticky solenoid Bri. 
Open the flap by whatever means works, and you should see the plunger which locks the flap. Squirt some WD40 around it, and gently wiggle. It might also be worth removing the boot inner panel and spray some from that direction. 
Still problematic? - renew solenoid. 
Could you please come back to us and let us know how you get on. 
Kind regards,

Gareth.

Thanks for the quick feedback

Done the wd40, see how it goes for few weeks.
