There is actually a recall on these fuel flaps as they tend to malfunction due to water coming inside them. My original part number was A0008205003, so if you replace it make sure you get part number A0008208312 (revision) because that is the where they fixed that issue. I had mine replaced last month, but it was on backorder waiting for the revised model in the Netherlands since May 2024.

There is an emergency button for those occasions, it is called TPV. It is suitable for A Class W177 and CLA class C118, I am not sure if Mercedes is using in another model. It is possible to access this emergency button from the trunk. Pull the carpet off and insert your arm towards the fuel lid. When you reach the actuator check all sides of it, you are going to feel a soft rubber on one of its sides. Push it and it will release the fuel lid. This part usually gets malfunctioning due to excess of water during washing. After washing your car open the fuel lid and dry it as soon as possible.

Thanks for the insights, very helpful to know 🙌🏽

Thanks indeed! I did not know that. Mine keeps opening all the time. If it’s so easy to replace by myself I’ll just do it myself instead paying for service. Also, good to know it’s due to washing car. Makes sense now. Just washed car today again… 😄

There is a secret button on the opposite side of the pin, under the sign TPV. I found it when I already destroyed everything😂

Hello mate, great video keep it up the good work. If you didn’t know already, on the Vaillant boiler casing, where the model name is, that bit comes off, can push it up and they normally have the GC no and serial number on the other side 👍🏽

are there two different models then? Mine can only be opened from a release button in my door. Yours is a manual clicking one by hand. i have corrosion inside the switch, going to get a new one tomorrow, atleast i hope they have the part.

Yes. Potentially double check, maybe take it out check the part info on the component. Can easily be put back in if you need to

Hey @rikstrixs. Really helpful video. But can you tell us how you managed to open the fuel cap at the start of the video. I assume it wouldn't open, hence you had to replace the mechanism.

@rikeshpatel4741 7 ай бұрын

Hi Hari, good question. I didn't manage to capture this on the video as I was experimenting at the time and managed to get it open. I had opened it by switching the locks on and off on the car with a thin flat screwdriver wedged under the flap and pulled it gently open with some small bursts of pressure.😂

Why would you not show how you opened the flap????? We heard and saw you tapping the flap and then you cut the video!!! The most difficult part of this process for anyone is how to get the the FLAP open!!!! Please add this most important information. 🙏

helpful but can I give you a bit of advice, buy a tripod or watch your video before uploading. As it started hurting my eyes when watching your video.

Hi is there a clip on the door that holds the latch in place when it click down. My gas door won’t stay close I’m wondering if a piece fell off or do I need to replace the whole accurator
