gazzm Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 has anyone had trouble with their fuel flap? mine doesnt quite shut fully. it looks like the petrol cap is sitting proud. dont know if its bad workmanship, ha ha, or whether i need a shallower cap. yes i know its still under warranty but i thought id ask first....

FLO7LXJ Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 (edited) No I have not had that problem but my boot release has broken twice, when someone tries to open the boot when you press the remote locking button, something happens and it stops working with the central locking.It's bluming annoying.Sorry a bit of a hijack.I still think it's a good car for the money.

old steve Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 (edited) My new fox fuel flap is slightly out of alignment. I checked all the other fox's on the forecourt and they are all the same. As they are connected to the 'neck' as a complete unit I imagine that they could be adjusted. My old Seat Arosa had 3 fitted under warranty. They warped with age and stuck out from the bodywork. Seat eventualy made them a bit stronger and the last one was ok. The Fox flap on mine would fit perfectly with adjustment if that was possible, ie it is the correct shape.Your service was cheap, the dealer told me VW 1'st service was minimum £160. Thats why I took the 3 year service deal at £250Steve Edited March 21, 2010 by old steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ermmurray Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 i havnt had a problem with my petrol cap but my passenger door has dropped ever since i got a new one due to someone crashing into me.. you actually have to slam it into oblivion.. and i know theyre hard to shut anyway but this is 10 times worse.. and my last service was £330 @ 40 000 miles.. i also had the free servicing up to 40000 miles so unluckily i did have to pay for this...

FOX12 Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 When I first took delivery of my Urban Fox (brand new) the cap was sitting proud so obviously I wasn't going to let them get away with it. Took over 2 months to sort. Something to do with them having to order a completely new part on back order? Think it was just bad workmanship anyway.....

They should easily adjust the door and there should be no charge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
