There is no independent switch for the Bora's fuel tank cap. When the car door is locked, the fuel tank cap will also be locked. When the car door is opened, the fuel tank cap will open. Methods to open the fuel tank cap and fuel tank maintenance

I remember when I first drove the new Bora, finding the fuel tank switch was a bit of a challenge. It's located in the sill area on the left side of the driver's seat, close to the seat, with an inconspicuous pull ring. Just bend down, reach out, and pull to unlock the fuel tank cap. Volkswagen cars tend to place the switch here for easy operation without taking up space. My first time refueling involved quite a bit of trial and error, but once I got familiar with it, unlocking became instant. By the way, remember to turn off the engine before refueling, don’t pull the ring too hard, and avoid accidentally pulling the seat adjustment lever. Regularly check the fuel tank cap’s seal to prevent fuel odor leaks or environmental pollution—this is also crucial for car maintenance. Once you develop the habit, the overall experience becomes very smooth.

I've studied car details, and the fuel tank switch design of the new Bora is quite clever. Typically located at the bottom left of the driver's side, it features a discreet pull ring or small handle—just a quick pull opens the rear fuel cap. Volkswagen group cars favor this placement for safety and to avoid button interference while driving. Don't overlook maintenance during daily use; issues like a stuck pull ring or wiring problems can disrupt refueling, causing delays. Beginners should test it a few times to ensure smooth operation. Proper use extends tank lifespan, reduces fuel evaporation loss, and is both eco-friendly and hassle-free.

At my age, driving for long periods can be tiring, but the fuel tank switch position on the new Bora is very easy to reach. It's located low on the side of the driver's seat—just pull the ring directly to unlock the cap. The operation is simple and effortless, making it very user-friendly for experienced drivers. When refueling, it's convenient to check if the cap is tightened properly to prevent fuel leakage issues.

Just got my hands on the new Bora, and it took me a while to figure out where the fuel tank switch is. On the left side of the driver's seat near the door, you can see a small pull ring if you bend down. Specific steps: Sit in position, tilt your head slightly to the left and look down, reach out to pull the ring gently, and the fuel tank cover will pop open. Then get out of the car and rotate it to open. Once familiar, it saves a lot of time. Remember to turn off the engine before refueling for safety. For maintenance, clean the switch regularly to prevent dust from jamming it.
