Hi the plunger mechanism is not working anymore, solenoid gone probably, loads on eBay fairly cheap and its easy to fit yourself two bolts and a wiring plug once you have removed the boot trim that side, in fact I would do that anyway to get the part number off of your old unit, check twice do once.

Hi, 

 has anyone replaced the fuel flap actuator on a a4 Allroad b9 2017,

if so, how do you go about it, it seems that you  take the plastic surround 

off by the filler cap, but  there are clips holding it in place ??

Hi there are a couple of posts on here with pictures but I replaced mine by getting in through the back by removing the boot trim so I could see the emergency release cable, chased the cable back to the unit which is held on by two 10mm bolts and slide the unit towards you, have a gander at youtube there are a couple of how to videos on the subject, if not Email one of the Moderators and they will point you in the right direction.
