Description
Fuel Filler Cap Cover For Peugeot 407 Sedan. Color EZQ – Manitoba Gray Paint.
This fuel filler cap cover is designed for the Peugeot 407 Sedan and is commonly searched under the code 1517A6. Built as an exterior body part, it restores the original look of the vehicle, protects the fuel filler neck from dirt and moisture, and ensures proper closure of the filler opening. Ideal for professional workshops and DIY enthusiasts who prefer to order parts by product code, the panel comes painted in Manitoba Gray (Color Code EZQ/EZQC) for a direct visual match on vehicles with the same paint option.

Function And Fit
The filler cap cover protects the fuel filler neck from water, dust and road debris while contributing to the vehicle’s exterior aesthetics. It must align precisely with the surrounding bodywork and latch securely to prevent rattles and ingress. Correct paint code matching ensures minimal visual difference when fitted.
Replacement / Installation
- Open the fuel filler flap and inspect retaining screws or hinge fasteners.
- Remove fasteners (typically screws or bolts) securing the hinge and release the flap assembly; keep original screws if reusing.
- Transfer any latch components, gasketing or paint-protected clips from the old cover to the replacement if required.
- Fit the new cover, align to body panel gaps and torque the fasteners to manufacturer recommendations.
- Check operation of the flap and latch; correct alignment if rubbing or misclosure is observed.
Installation Recommendations
- Perform replacement on a level surface and avoid forcing the flap to prevent damage to hinge pins or latch components.
- If painting is required, use the exact paint code (EZQ/EZQC) and allow proper curing before installation to avoid scuffs.
- Inspect surrounding sealing and hinge brackets for corrosion or damage and replace as needed for a long-term repair.
Why This Part Fails
Fuel filler covers most commonly fail or require replacement due to minor collisions (side or rear impacts), corrosion of hinge or fasteners, latch wear, vandalism or paint damage from road debris and environmental exposure. In many cases the structural panel remains intact but the hinge or latch becomes worn, causing misalignment or an inability to close securely.
