Managed to ge the motor out and the fuel door open within 5 mins of watching this vid, absolute legend mate!

[@yotambien2664]

Thanks for the trick. Poor SAAB, a lot of rust 😩. It need LOVE.

[@CycloneCyd]

Tell me about it

[@LindaSanchez-jw2te]

My Ford C-Max has a button on the dash, and I could not get the fuel door to open. I followed your advice, and voila! it's working now. THANK YOU for saving me so much money for a repair!! Love you!

[@papalazarou6874]

Cyclone Cyd to the rescue once again! This happened to me earier today with my 9-3. Of course you only find this out when low on fuel and already at the petrol station 😆 Thankfully I only live a couple of miles from the nearest one so it wasn't a drama and I could get home (after spending nearly £12 on a tin of WD-40 from same garage in the hope that would fix it). You are a legend my friend. Keep posting the videos

[@anneliseallen]

Going to try this tomorrow, just discovered this issue tonight. Thanks for sharing!

[@raywilson800]

Thank you for this informative and understandable video. I will try this and see if it works for the car I'm working on.

[@TeapotDaz]

Thanks for the video, very useful. 👍👍👍

[@kasulebriankalule2129]

Well articulated.

[@BicycleApostle]

Thanks! Your video saved me some stress and money!

[@CycloneCyd]

Great to hear!

[@martinneumann7783]

Thanks Cyd, I'm always curious about nearly everything and I like learning... But as you know, I own a C1 and I don't have this problem of «comfort»... 😃🚗😃

[@CycloneCyd]

Learning is good. 👍

[@lorddiablo8575]

Paul, I saw there are RUST on your Saab body ( right quarter panel above the wheel ). Grind-away the rust, put few layers of anti-rust, primer and some paint job ....

[@EhButU]

Very well explained - awesome

[@CycloneCyd]

Thanks for your comments

[@sherinemannion4266]

Rocking the freestyle libre!!

[@CycloneCyd]

I'm on the Libre 2 now - the alarms are a huge help

[@nicholasnickson7254]

Ah for the good old days when you had a key operated locking filler cap ! And a key for the boot or a internal boot lever.

[@canadiansaabfreak6530]

please make a video on how to remove that fuel filler neck sleeve/ fuel door hinge unit. I had recently fixed my broken one and it was quite a pain to remove and fix as there weren't any good videos of it online.

[@CycloneCyd]

I've added it to the list and will look into it.

[@GlobalPublicUniversity]

thanks for the video

[@micalaluna]

Thank you! Very clear and concise advice!

[@lukecarlson6863]

Sitting at the gas station with a broken flap and no gas. Saved my live showing me how to open the gas tank from the inside of the trunk

[@saucyboy111]

U had a screwdriver?

[@mattjohnson341]

Great Video As Always , Any Plans To Treat The Rust Wheel Arch

[@polytzai]

Same thoughts 🤣🤣🤣

[@CycloneCyd]

Planning to get on it this summer.

[@CubasAutomotive]

Very nice! I don't recall having to work on them ever, unless the door was stuck shut. Wd40 usually helps lubricate them enough (on the push button to pop them open style). The locking seems unique to me. Always learning something new. Thanks! 😊

[@CycloneCyd]

This type of CDL linked system has gone out of favour due to security concerns while fueling, but it used to be all the rage.

[@niecylee7404]

i had some flooding issues in side believe the door lock vacuum pump got damaged , my gas cap door is locked , Can I unhook from the pump and it will unlock ?

[@peterrudy9207]

You could periodically lubricant the release inside the gas door with silicone spray .

[@johndavis6719]

I recently started having this problem I'm pushing the button to open the door for the gas door to open and nothing is helping Ibhsd to get someone to open the fuel door while I push the button and then it finally opens I have a warranty on my car though.

[@un-_-known688]

Thank you

[@CycloneCyd]

You're welcome

[@DavidMartin-no7hs]

Great video! This happened to me two days ago. Managed to get the plunger going again.... But now the alarm is going off on its own for no reason. Have you come across that before? :-(

[@CycloneCyd]

What car? If a saab 9-3, then check the wiring to the alarm siren, in case you disturbed it.

[@geniecarpenter2046]

I have a 2007 Nissan Murano and the gas cap cover won't unlock. Using the electronic door opener brings a clicking sound, but doesn't release the flap when I push it. Any ideas?

[@patjohnson2259]

I was wondering the same as Matt Johnson, no relation, would it be possible to do a video on repairing the rust on the wheel arches, cheers.

[@CycloneCyd]

Yeah, I'm gonna make a start at cleaning it up soon. Seems to be a particular problem with 2007 7 2008 model years.

[@johnloxley8705]

Hopefully I never have this problem... but if I do at least I can look through your videos like I did when I had a previous problem with my car ( thanks to you for that one 👍🏽😀) Very informative as always. Spot-on 👍🏽😀

[@CycloneCyd]

Thanks John. I wouldn't say it's super common, but I have seen a few threads about it on various Facebook groups recently.

[@abik8727]

Am really need a help of this i am at the service station i want petrol but my petrol cover don't want to be open now what can i do

[@54player54]

Hi Do you have any idea if there are licenceplate bulbs for the saab 93 YS3F which are not flickering. Or maybe you know some figligts which are not hyperflashing without building an relay circuit like you have shown it in your led reverse light conversion video? Thank you an best regards

[@CycloneCyd]

I'm not aware of any. Relays it is.

[@sergvillarreal]

These's do NOT flicker.

[@abik8727]

Body side of main is covering how i can able to open it right now

[@johnnysalami7813]

The first step would be to speak proper English so people know what you're saying

[@freshfalcon3996]

Seems your ride has worse problems than the fuel door

[@alexandredionisio9280]

Mine doesn't lock.

[@CycloneCyd]

At least that's better than not unlocking 🤘

[@d4ve587]

I never seen a saab that rusty 😭

[@bluezedd]

My 2007 is quite a bit worse on the rear arches sadly. The rear arches seem to be where they go first. It's one of those things I'm just leaving though as it's not worth fixing.

[@CycloneCyd]

Yeah, 07 & 08 model years do seem worse. I'll be starting on it soon.

[@mitropoulosilias]

that shit cost too much
