Access to fuel door solenoid? C70 2007

The solenoid or motor that releases the fuel door may have fallen or needs adjustment. Pressing the release button I can hear it work but the door stays locked. Pulling on the manual release in the trunk is how we gas up the car.

What's involved in gaining access to the mechanism? Pull out the passenger-side trunk lining?

Thanks,

Erwin in Memphis

    Two of our 850s had gas door problems. Both had rubber grommets around the lock pin that were folded under. I do not know wether they were made that way, or became that way with use.

    On the second car, I could see the problem without disassembly, but had to take it out to fix it.

    After I fixed the grommet, I sprayed it with plastic-safe silicone spray. Some silicone spray cans do not mention that they can be used on plastic - the silicon is safe for plastic, some propellants are not.

    Be thankful that you do not have a wagon - I had to start at the top of the rear opening and work my way all the war to the rear door to get at the gas door motor!

      I recall just disconnecting the latch motor on my 855T failed. Fortunately the fuel filler door was easy to open manually and stayed closed when shut.

      The C70 may be a different story as I'll find out this weekend. Pictures will follow.

      Thanks guys.

    It is a pain, but yep. Pull the liner off. Check the motor for an adjustment, if there is one. Too bad the 2007's aren't in pick&pulls yet.

    Keeping it running is better than buying new
