Was: Scirocco Spy Shots on Autoblog, Now: Vw Engineers I'd like to slap
And the guy who decided that an access hatch to get at the fuel door
actuator motor on a New Beetle was not needed. So instead you get to remove
the entiere back seat (both parts), then strip the interior from the DS
back all the way around to the PS B pillar. Yep, not the C pillar. So now
if you see those cars with the fuel door flapping in the breeze and one
headlamp, you'll know why.
