Gas fuel tank door wont stay open

Postby Lefteris (Athens-Greece) » Sat May 17, 2008 6:48 am

The gas door wont stay open itself like it did on my Carrera and Boxster, so I had to hold it with my hand when I am in the gas station, any ideas why ?
Thanks

There's a small part which will cause it to stay where it needs to be, it may be possible to have broke or loss this little item... I don't have the right program from home to look it up for you but let me know if you need help.....

Thank you both, the problem was on the hinge (5 on blacknight diagram photo), 9 euros and it works as new again!
