HELP! Lockable Fuel Tap - Fuel Door Lock Prblem - Cayenne 2005 Tur

[Roli Savvaris]

Hi,

My fuel door lock does not work when I lock the car. I have LPG so I don't use the fuel door much but I am worried that thieves might steal my petrol since it is pretty easy to syphon the fuel dry.

The main problem I have is that I have a 100 litre gas cylinder in the trunk and therefore it is hard to get to the wall of the trunk to see if I can fix it as I have seen some posts on the topic.

I was thinking of replacing the original screw on tap with a lockable one but in the Porsche manual it says that only original porsche taps are permitted. Is there any Porsche lockable tap available, and if not, will I be able to safely use a different brand lockable tap?

Thanks,

Roli

Anyone any ideas?

Thanks

Chances are the actuator (solenoid used to lock it) is broken.

I have the same issue on mine - going to change the actuator soon (ordered it today).

I still haven't quite figured out how to get the boot right interior panel out (the one around the CD changer)

Do you remember the part number?
