central locking,fuel cap??

Unread post by deano1970 »

hi,
we have a renault scenic 1.6 fidji 03 plate.......when the r/c/l/ is operated it is making a squealing sound,this is coming from the lock on the fuel cap. I locked and unlicked it with the cap open and it spins the bolt out into place, when unlocking,it spins back in but is very juddery and sometimes didn't fully come out,meaning the cap would still be locked even though the car was unlocked.

seems to be held in plae by a normal nut but what is there if I undo it? anybody else had this prob? and more importantly, does anybody know how I cure it? it seems to work ok most of the time but always makes this noise and it is the locking mechanism on the fuel cap? thanks for any help,
dean....... :bomb:
