Past few months, my fuel door has been a little sticky when I push it in to open it.. I have my 10K service coming up soon, so I'll probably ask them to take a look at it but was curious if anyone else experienced anything similar.

No issues with mine.
Is it the electronic lock mechanism that's sticking?? Or is it the hinge?

good plan to have the dealer check it out

RickNY

I don't believe its the lock.. When I stop to get gas, I push in the door -- but then I have to kind of dig my finger in to pull it open -- where it used to pop out fully.

Dropped off the car yesterday at the dealer for the 10K service.. They were applying the TSB for the MMI Presets mode, and they also had to order a part for the fuel filler door.. Haven't gotten the car back yet, but I'll post back what part it was once I do.

So, the door is working now.. They replaced the actuator and an insert.

THanks for the update Rick.

Kinda figured it was that piece. Did you know the gas flap locks electronically with the door locks??

Yes, I knew the door locked electronically.. Figured that out pretty quick once I got the car.

Still have to bring the car back for the TSB for the presets -- dealer was unable to download the update so they had to request Audi send it to them on an SD card.

Well, just went to get gas for first time since picking up the car yesterday.. The door opens fine.. However, I'm almost certain that the "Insert" that was listed on my repair order was installed incorrectly. I'm not even sure why it was replaced.. I don't recall this thing sticking out from previous times I've filled up -- in fact, if I recall, it was just a hole -- and its function appears to be a drain to make sure water doesn't get stuck in that fuel well.. Can someone else take a picture of the inside of theirs and verify whether or not this looks wrong? Also, I'm not sure what else they messed with -- but the fuel cap doesn't click back now after the first click when tightening.

That's just the drain hose for when you spill gas all over.

RickNY

Yes -- I know that... But see how yours is flush? When I got my car back from the dealer, I now have a tube sticking out of that..As you can see from my picture, it also no longer drains anything.
