Can't get fuel flap open

[thompo5]

As the title say's I can open my feul flap on my signum. I'm I being stupid? I dont remember having to press a button to unlock it. There is a finger grip on the outside aswel.

I can prise it open about 5mm but then it jams.

help???

unlock the car

Have you fully unlocked the car (ie if when you press the unlock button once on the key fob only the driver's door unlocks, press it again to unlock all the doors - this then unlocks the flap).

Failing that, and I know my old Vec B had it, there may be a pull tag behind the boot trim that will pull the lock pin back so you can open it.

Thanks

oh yeah, that might help...

Years ago I bought a new Peugeot 405, picked it up from the dealer, went to fill it up but couldn't open the flap (no lever inside, no finger grip on the outside etc).

Took about 30s to discover that you pressed the front of the flap in to open it....

What a berk I looked on the forecourt!

nearly as good as pulling up with the filler on the wrong side then trying to MAKE it reach across the car.. lol i made such a hack of it when i first got vec i wasted about a quids worth of diesel cos it would reach. lol i thought i could aim at filler instead.... lesson learned i wont do it again
