Installation recommendations
Generally/typically for the fuel cap, it is a simple replacement without special equipment, but the exact procedure may vary depending on the design and equipment of the car.
1) Before assembly
- Compare the new cap to the old piece: shape, fit, hinge/axis, latch and overall fit profile.
- Check the condition of the paintwork and edges (scratches, cracks, broken handles).
- Verify that the codes on the part correspond to the desired design: 9643083777, or 151799, ETSC.
- Inspect around the tank/body opening for deformation or dirt (could prevent proper closing).
2) Necessary tools and materials
- A clean cloth and a mild cleaner to remove dirt from the contact surfaces
- Plastic pry bars (if it is necessary to carefully release the cover/handle without damaging the paintwork)
- Gloves
3) Step-by-step assembly procedure
- Secure the vehicle against movement and work in a clean, well-lit area.
- Open the tank cover.
- If the original cap is still present, check how it is attached (hinge, pin, clip).
- Carefully remove/unclip the old cap so as not to damage the surrounding paintwork.
- Clean the contact surfaces and the attachment area from dust and dirt.
- Place the new cap in the holder in the same position as the original part.
- Snap/seat the mount gently (without force); the lid must close smoothly.
- Try opening and closing several times, observe the smoothness of the movement and the seating of the edges.
- Check the fit with the body – the cap should not protrude or be “sunk”.
-
4) Post-assembly checks and function verification
- Check that the lid is firmly in place and does not open by itself.
- Make sure it doesn’t rub against the bodywork or scratch the paint.
- After the first ride, check again that the attachment is still tight and the cap fits correctly.
5) The most common assembly mistakes + how to avoid them
- Forcible snapping → first align the position of the hinge/pin, only then install it.
- Paint scratches → use a plastic pry bar and work over a cloth.
- Bad fit → check if there is no bent bracket/handle or dirt in the contact areas.
- Ignoring cracked mounts → carefully check all locking elements before assembly so that the lid holds securely.
Reasons why the part is damaged
- Mechanical damage during refueling (impact, careless handling, resting the gun).
- Breaking of the handles due to the age of the plastic and repeated opening.
- Paint damage due to scratches, stones or inappropriate cleaning.
- Vandalism or loss of the piece (torn off, stolen, misplaced and then dropped).
