Polo 6R - Adding the emergency fuel flap release mechanism

Here is a clip that shows how to add the #emergency #fuel #flap #release to the Polo. It also applies to the VW Vento and Skoda Rapid. This helps immensely in the event of the actuator failing to unlock the fuel flap. Our forum (Team-BHP) has several instances of Polo owners who had reported the issue of the fuel flap getting locked and it would not open when they had to refuel the car. The cord costs less than 10-20 Rs; wonder why VW chose to do away with this! Trust this DIY helps. Let me know if you have any queries. Here is the link to the cord and actuator - https://www.ebay.com/itm/143590432420 Have you checked out the other DIYs I have attempted on the Polo? Do check it out on my channel! :)
