Part description
Are you looking for a tank cover for the Citroën C5 and want it to fit in appearance and design? This used part is intended as a fuel filler cap and is EZW (grey paint). In practice, this is a frequently requested item by product number, because the correct part number is the fastest way to a hassle-free exchange.

Installation recommendations
Generally/typically for the fuel filler cap it is easy to replace, but it is important to check the fit and fit correctly so that the cap fits well and fits the body. The exact steps may vary depending on the specific car model.
1) Before assembly
- Compare the new lid with the old one: shape, attachment, possible hinges/axes, stops and method of securing.
- Check the part codes (9633284180 / 151784 / 151874) and the EZW shade if you are dealing with the appearance as well.
- Check the condition of the mating surfaces and edges – cracks or deformation can cause a poor fit.
2) Necessary tools and materials
- Typically: a set of screwdrivers / bits (depending on the mounting design), a plastic pry bar for removing upholstery / covers (if needed).
- Detergent and cloth for cleaning the contact surfaces.
3) Step-by-step assembly procedure
- Secure the car and work in a well-lit area.
- Open the original cap of the tank cover.
- Evaluate the type of attachment (hinge, pin, screw attachment, etc.).
- If the mount is screwed, carefully loosen the fasteners and set them aside.
- If the attachment is on a pin/hinge, loosen it so as not to damage the surrounding plastic parts.
- Remove the old cap and clean the seating surfaces around the neck.
- Place the new cap in the correct position and check that nothing rubs.
- Secure the attachment in the same way as the original part (returning the screws/pin).
- Open and close the lid several times – verify smooth operation.
- Check fit with the body (gaps, seating, lock in closed position).
-
4) Post-assembly checks and test drive/function verification
- Verify that the lid holds closed and has no play.
- After a short ride, check that the cap has not loosened and still fits properly.
5) The most common assembly mistakes + how to avoid them
- Exchanging similar parts: always compare shape and product numbers.
- Damage to plastic handles during disassembly: loosen with feeling, do not like metal tool without protection.
- Bad seating: before final securing, clean the seating surfaces and align the position of the lid.
Reasons why the part is damaged
- Mechanical damage in the event of an accident or careless handling at a gas station.
- Material fatigue and plastic cracking due to age, frost and UV radiation.
- Damage to attachment/hinge during prying or repeated stress.
- Abrasions and paint peeling from normal use, which are especially visible on painted lids (e.g. EZW).
