How to open the fuel tank cap of FAW-Volkswagen?
2 Answers
Locate the fuel tank cap release switch on the left front side of the door, lift the release switch, and you will hear the sound of the fuel tank cap opening. Turn the inner fuel tank cap counterclockwise to open it. After refueling is completed, tighten the inner fuel tank cap clockwise.
I remember when I first drove my FAW-Volkswagen car, the fuel tank cap opening mechanism was quite simple: sit in the car, look down near the driver's seat floor on the left side for a small lever, usually marked with a fuel tank icon, and a gentle pull would unlock the fuel tank cap. If there's no response, don't worry, first make sure the car is turned off and the key is nearby, as some cars require the doors to be unlocked to open it. I once experienced a stuck situation, and a gentle push on the fuel tank cap solved it. For beginners, it's best to operate during the day to avoid misoperation due to poor visibility at night. Additionally, Volkswagen's design is quite user-friendly, unlike other brands where you have to get out of the car to press a button; just pulling a lever does the trick, making it both convenient and safe, preventing the cap from being left open. During regular maintenance, check if the lever cable is loose to prevent malfunctions; if it still doesn't open, there might be a minor mechanical issue inside, so it's advisable to visit a 4S shop for a check.
