Opel Meriva B fuel filler flap locking | VAUXHALL

Hello everyone,

I have a question about my Opel Meriva B. I heard that there should be a fuel filler flap lock when you lock the car, but my fuel filler flap is open every time, even though the car is locked. Is this normal or is the locking mechanism missing?

I hope you can help me with this. If this topic is misplaced, feel free to move it.

    Also, check if you can find a hole at the gas stations in the area, but there should be a locking pin in it, but if it doesn't come out, the actuator motor probably has a problem.

    I would also guess the actuator motor

    If you remove the right-hand trim in the boot, you'll find the actuator motor for the fuel filler flap behind it. The fault could be in the control unit, the actuator motor may be defective, or there may be a broken wire.

    It's very likely the actuator motor. Mine died once too, but in the locked position. That was fun at the gas station 🙈 Replaced the actuator motor and everything was okay again.
