How do you open the fuel tank on a scirocco?
Scirocco unlocked. Press the rear right wing flap on its rear side at 09:00 and it should spring up.

I've had a couple of rare occasions when it hasn't opened. A lock and unlock of the car seems to free it up.

I had fun with this when picking up my 'Roc last Friday. I was looking everywhere for a filler cap button around the door, as it is with the MkV Golf I drove the week before. Eventually I just prodded the cap until it opened. This has reminded me to tell the wife!
It doesn't help that the dealer didn't supply the owners manual - they are now sending me one through the post.

My old golf had a fuel cap switch, in exactly the same place as the roc boot opener, which made it pop open.
This has become extremely annoying as force of habit means everytime i fill up i open the boot! i look like a right tit everytime lol!

I did mention the fuel cap thing to my wife but she seemed alarmed by the idea of her ever filling it up! 
I'm on my second tank now from this morning. I only got 30mpg from the first tank (I have a 1.4 160 DSG) which is a bit pants. However, I guess the amazingly cold weather has hit the economy somewhat plus the two hours crawl into work the other day. I must say the DSG was brilliant for that though :-)
