* Fiesta Mk7 "fuel Flap" Issues

[BHeart]

Hi

I've been having more and more problems trying to open the fuel flap when I need to refuel.

When I arrive at the petrol station, I press on the flap and it does not open and I end up just pressing it randomly on various parts of the flap and, up until now, it has eventually opened. But I know that there will come a day when it won't open.

Can any members tell me if they have a solution for this or, does Ford have a 'fix' available?

Thanks, BHeart

I took mine in under warranty for this and they greased the fitting.

My current permament fix is to whack it with my fist to 'shock' it open.

Ford do indeed have a fix: see this post you started a fortnight ago! http://www.fordownersclub.com/forums/topic/30466-fiesta-mk7-petrol-flap-issue/

Was gonna say, Déjà vu on this one! Why the duplicate post BHeart? I told you Ford's solution.
