Sounds like the solenoid is defective, but the petrol cap can be opened by opening the boot and putting your hand down the side of the back panel (petrol cap side). You should be able to feel the solenoid and on the back there is a lever that can be pulled out which will release the petrol cap latch.

The solenoid controlling the petrol filler flap is defective. You must get
a mechanic who is knowledgeable about Renault cars to do the job.

Hi.

Get a can of DW40. Spray it all over the cap and inside where the key goes, leave for 10 or 15 mins and then try and open it.


Good luck.

Petrol filler flap stuck in locked position
As a temporary solution you can normally force it open use something like a credit card (or credit card size piece of stiff plastic)

This forces it open without damaging the paintwork.

For a long term solution it will have to be dismantled to be cleaned up and greased etc
