Title: Petrol Flap cable adjustment
Post by: chorsman on August 09, 2012, 11:51:41 AM
Hi, does anybody know how to adjust the petrol flap cable. I think mine is too loose as it wont operate. I know the cable is ok as I can operate the rear boot/hatch.

For the fd?
If so, No there is no adjustment, Im guessing your flap wont open?
There should be a metal tab/spring that pushes the flap open a little when you pull the lever it may need bending out slightly or is missing?

There is no way of adjusting it.
