Astra J fuel filler lock access

[Phil c]

Guidance/ advice reqd,

 

The central locking on the filler flap has begun to screech when locking and unlocking as though metals rubbing on metal.  

I can't see how to get access to it unless its behind the boot liner.  My Haynes doesn't even mention it surprisingly. 

Want to exam and sort it before it craps out and stops working.  I've tried hosing wd40 through the lock bar aperture but as I can't see its just spray and prey, and so for its not helped.   Any of you guys delved into this?

Cheers,

Phil

Hi Phil. I've just done some Google searching, and found that it looks like you have to get to it from under the wheel arch. Removing the plastic liner will give you access to the lock mechanism.  

Hope this helps.
