Fuel flap removal SEAT Ibiza IV Hatchback (6J5, 6P1)

To remove the fuel flap on a SEAT Ibiza IV Hatchback (6J5, 6P1), the general process involves a few careful steps:
- Open the fuel flap and locate the small Torx screw behind the locking tongue inside the fuel filler opening. Usually, a T20 Torx screwdriver fits.
- Unscrew this Torx screw carefully (don’t lose it!), which holds the fuel flap assembly in place.
- Once the screw is out, gently pry the fuel flap assembly away. There are usually plastic hooks or clips that you need to press or carefully release to free the flap from the mounting point.
- If the flap is stuck, use a plastic trim tool or an old credit card to carefully work around the edges without damaging the paint.
- After the flap is free, disconnect any electrical connectors if your fuel flap has a locking actuator.

There are also some helpful video tutorials on YouTube showing similar removal processes for SEAT models and VW group cars, which share similar designs. Searching "SEAT Ibiza fuel flap removal" will bring up step-by-step visual guides.

Just take it slowly, keep track of all screws and small parts, and your fuel flap should come off without a scratch!
