'99 Seat Ibiza - Fuel Door Solenoid

Post by CameraJack »

Hi there!

My girlfriend has a '99 1.4 Ibiza. Today the fuel flap decided that it no longer wanted to unlock. Luckily it was easy enough to pry the door open without doing any damage and I've folded the lock plate back a little so it the door functions properly, it just doesn't lock. It looks like the solenoid has failed. I'll have no problems replacing it but I'm currently having trouble tracking down the part on my usual source, eBay. Does anyone know if the same part from something like a Polo of similar vintage will also fit? Any other tips or tricks?

Thanks for any help in advance.
