When I purchased my Omega (1999 "V" 2.0 CD with 98k) the fuel flap locking motor was not working. Infact the rod was just out enough to lock the flap, which was amusing when it came to fill it up.

Sussesed out how to remove it and move the rod manually. Its been on my "to replace" list for sometime and I ordered a used, working one off ebay. Fitted it Tuesday night and it worked fine. Fully retracting and fully going back in.

Wednesday night, i was fiddling with the car (Clearing leaves from scuttle panel because I park under tree's at work) and though id check the petrol flap. Locked, wouldnt open. I thought maybe there is a timer and its re-locked itself. So i locked the car fully (lock button pressed twice) and then unlocked. Flap still locked.

The damn motor has packed or something again as the rod does not move!!!

Now I KNOW it did work. So maybe its something on my car?

If you open your boot, pull the flap for the multi changer down, then press the lock button on your key once should be enough to lock the car and see if you can hear the motor make any noise.... would check the fuses but if the central locking is working.... i would assume they would be on the same fuse...... but worth a check.

Check that there isn't any wires bare....

Other than that I would try another from a scrapyard....
