2 Answers
The fuel tank cap of a Magotan can only be opened by pressing it. You can gently pry or tap it while pressing the fuel tank cap. Detailed information about the Magotan is as follows: 1. The 2019 Magotan's overall appearance has not changed much, with optimizations made to the grille and headlights. The new family-style inverted trapezoidal grille not only increases the intake size but also enhances the sporty characteristics of the front face. The LED headlights on both sides have been updated with a new design, featuring a more fashionable lamp cavity. The previous daytime running lights have been moved to the lower part and include a small hook design, providing good recognition. 2. The 2019 Magotan 1.4T model is equipped with an EA211 1.4T L4 turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 150 PS, a maximum power of 110 kW, a maximum power speed range of 5000-6000 rpm, a maximum torque of 250 N·m, and a maximum torque speed range of 1750-3000 rpm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. 3. The 2019 Magotan 2.0T model is equipped with an EA888 2.0T L4 turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 186 PS, a maximum power of 137 kW, a maximum power speed range of 4100-6000 rpm, a maximum torque of 320 N·m, and a maximum torque speed range of 1500-4000 rpm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The 2019 Magotan series adopts a front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout, with a front suspension type of MacPherson independent suspension and a rear suspension type of multi-link independent suspension.
I've driven Volkswagen cars for many years, including the Magotan, and the fuel filler cap not opening has happened occasionally. Mechanical issues are the most common, such as the cap getting stuck in the guide slot or the spring rusting and not retracting; electronic versions might misjudge and not unlock due to low key battery or sensor failure. First, try the emergency release cable, usually found on the side of the car body or under the trunk interior panel. Don't force the cap open, as bending the metal will make it harder to repair. Just drive directly to a 4S shop or repair shop—they can solve the problem in seconds with tools. Remember to clean around the fuel tank during car washes to prevent dust buildup and reduce trouble. If left unresolved for long, even refueling becomes a hassle and affects your mood.
