I have a 2008 Audi A6. The fuel switch doesn't seem to be releasing the door. Is there any way to manually open the fuel door?

Take out the 30th fuse from SB42, in the instrument panel fuse box for 30 seconds and then reinstall. This will reset the control module.

The fob is defective.

InInside the drivers door in the back of the storage compartment is the switch to open the fuel door.

did you plug in the fuel pump at the fuel pump. did you cycle the key off and on at least 5 times check the plug at the fuel pump first to see if its still plugged in

I have a 97 and there is no release for it. Just push on the right end of the gas cap door to open it. Hope that helps.

This is a common problem with the C5 A6 models. Before you replace the fuse for the windows (I think it's number 14, but i don't have a manual in front of me - Anyway, it's the 10A fuse that's blown!) Look under the back of both front seats and you'll see a light that illuminates the floor for the back seats. Rem ove the light from each seat by prying it out with a flat screwdriver and disconnect both leads. Replace the fuse, and your windows (moon roof and interior lights as well) should now work. The lumbar support causes something to short out the lights. I've tried insulating the lights on mine, but the problem always comes back so I just disconnected them altogether.

Fuses are located by the side of the dash board when you open the driver's door. The fuel pump fuse is situated in there.
