Common Issues Associated with Audi Q5 Fuel Doors
Audi Q5 model vehicles’ drivers rarely report any fuel door problems. However, sometimes it can get stuck, making it difficult to refuel. This can be due to the latch’s wear and tear, dirt, debris deposits, or broken/rusted hinges.
You can solve this problem by using a narrow, bent object. Insert it into the space between the fuel door and the vehicle’s body, then pull it out.
Note that this should only be a temporary fix, as continued forced pulling can cause wear and tear on the areas around the fuel door. Contact an authorized Audi dealer when you notice any issues with your car’s fuel door.
