Description
This fuel flap actuator is a genuine Volkswagen component for the VW Passat B6, supplied under OEM number 3C0810773. It is the electric actuator that operates the locking and release function of the fuel filler flap on the vehicle.
Its job is to lock or unlock the fuel door as part of the central locking system, allowing secure access to the filler cap when needed. When working correctly, it helps the fuel flap open and close properly while keeping the filler area protected when the car is locked.
Common signs of a faulty unit include a fuel flap that will not open, will not lock properly, sticks closed, or releases intermittently. In some cases, the actuator may still make a sound but fail to move the locking pin fully, leaving the flap difficult to open during refueling.
This is a used original part, removed from a vehicle and tested before sale. Match the exact OEM number 3C0810773 before ordering. Professional installation is recommended, as access to the actuator sits behind the body trim near the filler area and adjustment may be needed for correct operation.
Returns accepted only for genuine faults — faulty on arrival, not as described, or wrong part supplied — requested within 14 days, with all 3 anti-tamper stickers intact. No returns for change of mind, incorrect installation, coding/programming, or buyer compatibility errors; checking compatibility (OEM number, firmware, vehicle) is the buyer’s responsibility.
