Hello. I've swapped this on mine as I had the opposite issue. It's a £30 part from the dealer. Swap is 4 clips holding the fuel bit in and 1 screw and a wiring clip. Easy peasy just be careful and use a cloth so you don't scratch your paint!
Open fuel door
Take fuel cap off
There are 4 indents in the black plastic. 2 at the top 2 at the bottom. Push them down so the clips release then the whole black part including door
Slide it out left side first.
Undo screw
Pull out module
Take wiring harness out
Reverse for reassemble.

Thanks, sounds easier than I anticipated, don't suppose you have the part number handy from the receipt?
I would advise do it asap. First I knew mine had failed was when I couldn't get it open on the forecourt and was low on fuel. I was under warranty still but SEAT weren't interested unless I could get it to them and I didn't have enough fuel to ! What was wrong with the old keyed cap under the cover, why do they have to over complicate things !!This has been discussed before and you are lucky that yours failed unlocked rather than locked. It's far easirer to fix. I need to do mine as some point as it's making a few `noises`...

That's great, I have an estate - and a none locking fuel flap, doesn't even make a noise.SuperV8 this was on the estate. But I think hatchback is the same process

Yes that's the one.I'm not sure that mine even works but I guess it should be replaced anyway.

Yes that's the one.
There is a protrusion - circled red - which can be for a red plastic emergency access pull cord - through not sure my Leon has this? Maybe could be retrofit and left in the boot somewhere?

Yes looks like the Audi version 8F0862153E includes the plastic pull cord!Defo no manual release on the Leon. If it is the same part minus the red cable, for the sake of a few pennies it makes you question the logic of not fitting it, considering the agro it can cause? I get that penny savings matter on large scale production but really? Premium feature / brand hierarchy maybe? As it happens, when I was stuck on the forecourt unable to put fuel in and furiously beating the flap in the hope it would open just one last time, another driver did come over and say "oh, haven't you got a release in the boot?". Didn't look but they probably had an Audi..........
