Reasons why the Volkswagen fuel tank cover won't pop open include the fuel tank cover being stuck or rusted, the pull cable being too long, the fuel tank cover pull cable falling off, the fuel tank cover spring losing elasticity, or the aging of the fuel tank cover's engagement area. Below are specific reasons and solutions: Pull cable too long: It may be that the pull cable is too long or has stretched after some use, causing the pull cable not to fully engage when the release handle is operated, thus preventing the fuel tank cover from opening. Another possibility is that the release handle or the locking mechanism of the fuel tank cover is faulty. Replacing the pull cable, release handle, or locking mechanism can resolve the issue. Fuel tank cover pull cable falling off: You can open the trunk, and on the side of the fuel tank cover, there will be an inner trim panel that can be opened. Once opened, you can see the long pull cable that operates the fuel tank cover. Pulling it may help. If it doesn't work, try moving the movable parts of the locking mechanism while pulling the cable. Some vehicles have a dedicated locking switch installed on the locking mechanism.
