fuel door

[stevengad]

Hi, i just bought a 95 talon tsi awd, nice car! question is my fuel door will not open unless someone holds the latch up inside while another opens the door outside. i have bent the latch on the door so i can fill up by myself, but just want ths to be a temp fix. can u guys tell me if your door has a spring in it so that when u pull the latch the door opens past the latch. thx all

I have this same problem with my trunk, I have to make several trips from my latch opener I guess you would call it to the trunk, pulling up to see if it popped all the way.

I would check that cable that operates the release for the door, prolly got loose, just unscrew the little plate that goes over the lever and inspect it. then i would check out the one hooked to the fuel door latch. Hope this helps, peace

the problem is the spring that pops the door out. try wd40'ing the hinges and mechanisisms at the fuel door. im not sure how its setup on a 2g but if you can pull it open while you hold the release then the problem isnt the release cable.

thought that there was a spring on the door! problem is its gone! is not clear though on where it connects to the door and the body... anyone? thx
