Siman350z Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Apparantly quite a common issue on the 350z, you press the fuel filler cap open button and it needs several presses to open or worst case scenario, won't open at all. You seem to be able to grease the 'spring' (a small peice of metal you can clearly see when you open the flap) but this doesn't work most of the time and certainly won't last. Did it tonight, for £10 of parts ordered from Nissan and this: http://www.myzroadster.com/Files/tsbs/04_Tsbs/NTB04-059.htm Fixed it in 10mins. It's an extremely easy DIY, only 2 screws needed to undo and replace! Stupidly minor issue which can be such a PIA, very satisfying to sort it...Happy days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricey Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Good effort One of those jobs I could never bother my arse doing but then I don't think ours is really that bad - just needs a few pushes of the button now and again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dblock Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 nice one will get this done. Is it the 2 parts you need? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slimjim Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Never knew this was an issue. Mine opens fine, fist time, every time.... but I will keen an eye on it if this is a common problem. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charrold80 Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Occasionally had this problem. Found that pressing the button for a couple of seconds and not taking my finger off the button too quickly does the trick. But would be nice to not have the problem.

Spotted there is a manual over-ride in the boot too. A little white plastic bar you can pull to open it (behind all the trim) just in case it dies completely.
