Gas door . . .

[ShakyDog]

I have a 2007 3.0i, when I lock her, there is a load click at the gas door. Is the gas door supposed to lock? As mine is not, I wonder if something is not right.

Yes it locks. Check out the mechanism for blockage

Thanks, it looks like the little locking nub is gone, so I guess on my next oil change they will be doing some warranty work.

Here is a pic of what it looks like under the rear fender. The black plastic rod sticks through the plastic liner (through a plastic bushing) and sticks into the gas door to hold it in, when all is working right.

It looks like the green cable is an emergency overide that comes out in the trunk.
