I've been driving Volkswagens for many years, and the fuel filler cap is actually quite simple. There are some differences between older and newer models. For older models like the Polo and Santana, the fuel filler cap is on the side of the car—just press a small button to pop it open. For newer models like the Magotan and Passat, the button is usually on the floor near the driver's left side or next to the door storage compartment. Look for a handle with a fuel tank symbol and pull it to open. For models like the Lavida, the fuel filler cap sometimes works with the door lock system—just press the unlock button on the key after turning off the engine to open it directly. If the button gets stuck and won't open, don’t force it. It might be frozen from washing or the rubber seal might be old and sticky. Try tapping around the area with your knuckles and try again. When opening, pay attention to the fuel grade marked on the cap, and when unscrewing, make sure not to get the fuel nozzle stuck on the cap.
