Really, no manual?

But anyway you put the key in the slot, hold the cap and turn it 180 degrees. if it's unlocked it then it should unscrew, it takes a bit of force to turn. When you put it back on make sure it clicks and then lock with the key.

Turns out it's about 5% past "this is going to break it" levels of force. It'll probably loosen over time.

I've got it sorted, cheers for all the replies.

 

You turn the key anti clockwise then turn the cap anti-clockwise it should click when you start to turn it

 

Step 1: Figure out how to unlock the filler cap
Step 2: Leave unlocked forever

That's what I've always done, can't be arsed faffing with unlocking and locking the cap, and unsurprisingly no-one has ever attempted to steal fuel from my car.

 

Yeah, think I'll do the same!

Can't remember the last car I had that had a key operated fuel filler cap.

 

Mine for one stays unlocked.

 

Thank goodness....thought it was only me!!

 

You've got to separate unlocking and twisting it off into 2 movements !

Unlock with the key (turn left)
Turn cap left -by hand- to release it

Screw cap back on by hand after filling.
Lock cap with key.


Trying to do both at the same time with the key, gives that "This is gonna break it"-feeling, and ultimately it may ...

 

I think most of us been through it...

 

First time I filled mine up and went through all the hassle everyone is mentioning I just left it unlocked from then on.

My gripe is what do you do with the filler cap when your filling it up? am I missing something as cant see anywhere it should attach to etc so it just either bounces along the side of the car or sits in beside the opening getting in the way of the nozzle.
