Fuel cap stuck on Renault Clio Mk III (05 onwards)
This mechanism is a piece of crap - and so is the way the body is put together, thus it's easy to get to the locking mechanism in an emergency:
1. There is NO pull ring mechanism in the inner trim or behind the parcel shelf.
2. The Outer door trim on the fuel cap is only held in place by 5 or 6 plastic slides. Pull panel gently towards you and slide it from RIGHT to LEFT (towards back of car). It should move without too much force.
3. You can now see the locking pin at the top of the inner fuel door. Use something long and thin to move it UP.
4. Put the trim back on ... it'll clip into place.
Sorted
... at least until the next time
