Kadjar fuel

Unread post by deano1970 »

Hi. I just got a new to me, 16 plate kadjar.. really nice.... the only bit I'm struggling with is the fuel cover, there is a pull lever in the car with a fuel logo on it. Pull it and the door pops open, but if I push it from the right side of the door, it opens anyway... should this not be locked until the lever is pulled up open the fuel cover ??? Cheers

You may find that, when the vehicle is locked, the fuel flap IS locked. Having the ability to open the flap in one of two ways is just helpful.

Hi james.. that's the problem, the fuel flap isn't locked when the car is.. I've looked inside it and I can't see how it's supposed to lock with the central locking..... my old laguna had a bolt that came out and into a hole in the filler cover to hold it in place but I can't see how the kadjar is supposed to work?
