Tank filler cap for CITROEN C4 5-door cars

Part description

The used tank cover is suitable as a spare part for repairing a damaged, lost or aesthetically worn original piece. It is a body part that helps protect the filler neck area from dirt and at the same time preserves the original appearance of the car.

The part is also searched by serial number, so it is particularly suitable for mechanics and DIYers who are looking for the right part by designation. Another advantage is the ETS – gray Cendre color design, which can facilitate replacement without the need for additional body modifications.

3. Carefully loosen the original cap or its attachment depending on the type of connection.
4. Compare the dismantled part with the spare part, especially in the area of hinges, stops and latches.
5. Clean the contact surfaces and the attachment area from dirt so that the new part fits correctly.
6. Place the replacement cap in the correct position and gently insert it into the holder without using force.
7. Check that the hinge or guides operate smoothly and without excessive resistance.
