I just bought my new 2021 Tiguan And I have been going nuts trying to figure out how to open the fuel door! Thanks for sharing I should’ve started here would’ve save me hours!

Super helpful! Just picked up a Tiguan and forgot to ask the sales guy how to open the fuel door. My older Jetta had a button on the driver side door.

Nice. Have had my Tiguan for 6 years and never ran into this. Thought I was going nuts! Thanks for the tip. There is another video on this subject, and it was completely worthless. lol

Thanks saved us frustration with finding the cap release on our freaking rental

Thank you.. This method also works with Skoda Rapid Romanian cars 🇷🇴🙌

Thanks so much, fiddling with this stupid thing in below-freezing weather is not optimal. I wouldn’t have ever figured it out, and I didn’t want to ask the owner of the vehicle so it would be a surprise that I filled it up.

I am renting this car and couldn't find the gas lever. You saved my sorry ass from approaching people to ask. Thanks!!

[kittybee]

had to fill up my fiancé’s car and didnt know what i was doing, so thank you for this 😅

[mayraplascencia]

Helpful! Hate that you can’t open the gas tank while the car is locked, would beneficial given the rise in carjackings

[adanquinones]

Thanks, just bought a new car and still getting used to it

[lilymae]

What if it still won't open when the car is unlocked?!

I’ve had my Tiguan for a couple of years and this was the first time I locked my car before pumping gas and I couldn’t figure out why it wouldn’t open, I feel dumb lol
