Thank you so much! The Audi A4 B9 has this same issue the strap literally dissolves and for a 30K+ car you’d expect it to be stronger. I got an aftermarket from AliExpress and does the job. Hard plastic like the pins too so not rubber which melts with summer heat and the fuel. Thank you so much anyway and the diagram drawing ✍️ was perfect 👍🏽 Appreciate it!
Your very welcome Glad the video helped Yes definitely not what you'd expect from a premium brand Happens to other VAG vehicles as well as most have the same style fuel cap and strap Thank you for commenting and letting us know how you fixed yours!
Hi its a B6 A4 2003 Audi didn't have anything even with the strap code. They did have the fuel cap and strap together. I bought a febi cap and strap for around £10 took the strap off and fitted it to my original audi cap this worked perfectly part no. febi 27288 The febi caps fit numurous vw and audi vehicles. Of course the febi cap ive kept as a spare in case my audi cap needs replacing in the future. The febi cap strap is very good quality too and my cap is safe from falling off at the fuel station
one of my pins unintentional popped all the way out, any suggestions how to get it back in ? So far I have tried supporting it with blue tack to help line it up and press in with a larger flat surface but can't get it started in the hole, can only think to file one end slightly so it has a taper to get started but not tried yet........how did you get yours in that came all the way out ?
I'd like to think that your idea to slightly taper the end/s would work, they are a pain, the other advice is to make sure you have a large cloth or similar around where your working so if they do pop out when trying to install you don't lose them, let me know how you get on and all the best with it!
@@carsonstage4274 Thanks :) managed it eventually after several hours, I sanded one of the ends of the pins a little to give it a bit of a taper and constructed a cardboard template that sat over the hole and held the pin in place then with the cap resting on my desk (no vice) I gently tapped the pin with some closed pliers (no small hammer). Once it had got it started in the hole I placed a small block of wood over the pin and tapped that with the pliers to try to prevent any damage to the pin or to bend it. Challenging job, those 5mm pins are far to small. As you say the ideal situation is they stay slightly in the hole but mine pinged out without warning :)
@@canaanukltd im glad you got there with this fiddly job, i think all information on this subject with the fuel cap will be invaluable as its like this on most if not all VAG vehicles, so will continue to be an issue. Thank you for your valuable contribution im sure this will help others stuck in the same situation 🙂
Thanks for this. Audi wanted a lot for a replacement filler cap, got mine replacement from Amazon, next day delivery, all sorted.
