Filled my car up the other day fuel cap opened fine I've come to give the car a clean today and the cap won't open now at all.
Any ideas?

Lock and unlock again. It sometimes pops open.

It's likely the little actuator has broken though (I had the same last year).
It's only a £15 part but VW will charge another £50 to fit it.

Cheers for that after unlocking and locking a few times it popped open
