w209 Clk Fuel cap jammed

[ajuj12]

Hi Guys,

Extremely low on diesel i get to the petrol station and my fuel cap is not opening??

What can i do? i don't think the clk has a emergency release lever.

Any ideas?

Pull the right hand side trim back on the interior of the boot, you will see a small wind t bar on the lock. Turn it anti clockwise. Or it will have a red pull cable.

This is electric on a 209, first try locking and unlocking the car a few times.


If there is an emergency release perhaps someone else knows where it is.

tried locking and unlocking many times to no luck!! and no emergency lever on the CLK!!

Have you looked where Steve said for a release

Nothing there, everything is blocked off by metal things!

I can send you the instructions to remove the motor

In the rear fuse box there is a fuse for the relay F15 rated 7.5 amp

Relay G in the rear box is for this fuel flap

So could it be the fuse?

yes it could be or the relay that reverses the motor

so try replacing the fuse first?

No, first get the codes read. If its electrical or a physical jamming it should leave error codes.

Surprised there's no manual override release for the flap though!

Central locking components seldom leave codes

luckily Mercedes roadside assistance came and replaced the part for me £18.95. it was the locking motor!

Was this replaced at your home, or roadside?
