most german cars have this lock/window feature... I found out mine shortly after purchase cause my friends VRsex did the same thing, as does my mom's passat.
and that little string to open the gas cap is on every vechile with a locking gas door, for obvious reasons. __________________ 11/97 Base  328Ti

yea, thankfully when the power locks failed on my ti.. they failed in the open position or I would be tugging on that string everytime I needed to fill up my car.
Getting the locking resolved soon. new module is on the way | | | | | 05-20-2008, 05:33 PM | #21 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: state college, pa Posts: 3,431 |

I didn't know about the pull in the hatch to open the gas!
Is that so when you can't unlock your gas you go to the dealer and they charge you $150 to pull the string? __________________ ...

i tried the dead lock trick and my gas cap still opened. I think it might be broken. Or is it because my Ti is a base i don't get this locking with my model? | | | | | 05-20-2008, 11:46 PM | #25 | | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2007 Location: Eugene Oregon Posts: 6,182 |

Yes, I'm glad I wasn't the only one not to know about the window/sunroof trick.

When I lock the car, the pin starts to come out, but stops at the edge of the body work (doesn't come out of the hole at all). So, is it possible the pin is bent or does the actuator thing need to be replaced like Mallard mentioned? And does someone have instructions for that or is it in the Chiltons manual (making do with it until I get a Bentley manual)?
