Hi Guys, Ive got a problem ( common one it seems) The fuel filler flap on our 2016 Q30 2.2 Diesel won’t open! Apparently it’s a common fault on Mercedes, it’s probably the Solenoid Actuator? Given the fact that loads of Infiniti Dealerships have closed down due to the brand withdrawing from Western Europe where can I get this part? It looks like a big job to “ dig in’ and remove the broken part anyway but needs must, Thanks for listening! Cheers, Ged 😬

I had this exact problem a few months ago, AA man turned up, prised the back top corner of the flap open very gently then used a piece of metal bent wire to open the flap. Didn't damage the flap at all miraculously. This allowed me to fill with fuel (because of course I only discovered it when I needed to fill up). I then closed it again by accident, but it has worked perfectly since ! This car has gone back to the lease company now and I have a newer one.

Fuel Filler Flap

Stopped to fill the car this morning and the flap would not open, I removed the trim panel in the boot in the hope of finding a "release" cable..........no such luck!! I checked the manual for inspiration and found none!! I contacted the Help Line and was told that the RAC would be along in...
