1996 1.4 petrol cap locked due to central locking - Rhiannon23
I hope someone can help. The central locking has suddenly stopped working on my 1996 polo. I put the key in the driver door and turn it and nothing happens at all, the barrell on the passenger side has been missing for a while so I cannot try it on that side.
I have gone to a petrol station today to fill up only to find the petrol cap is locked and I can't get into it, I presume it is because of the central locking failing. I'd be so grateful if someone could get back to me asap as to whether I can get the cap opened.
Thanks

If you can get into the boot, pull back the trim and move the actuator arm. These cars are locked/unlocked by air pressure in a small vacum tube.

If you want to fix the C/L this thread may help tinyurl.com/dfsv6f If it is the pump make sure you get one with the right code number as there are several different ones.
