Description
Product Overview
This aluminium-effect fuel filler flap cover is a direct-fit replacement designed for the Peugeot 206. It combines a factory-style appearance with corrosion-resistant finish to restore the vehicle’s exterior around the fuel access point. The part is often searched for and identified by its product codes listed below, so check compatibility before purchase.
Fitment And Function
The flap cover is mounted on the vehicle’s rear quarter panel and protects the fuel filler neck from dirt, moisture and damage while providing the external access point for refuelling. It is a body-element replacement part; a locking filler cap is available separately in the BODY – LOCKS section if you require a keyed lock function.
Installation
Replacement is straightforward for a competent mechanic or a DIY enthusiast with basic tools. Typical steps: open the fuel flap, remove any retaining screws or clips, unclip the hinge and separate the old cover from the body, then position and secure the new cover with the original fasteners. Recommended tools: Phillips screwdriver, small flat screwdriver or trim tool and pliers. Expected workshop time: 10–30 minutes depending on access and fastener condition.
Durability And Common Failure Modes
Common reasons for replacement include impact damage (parking scrapes or petrol pump incidents), hinge wear or corrosion, paint or finish degradation, and deformation that prevents proper closure. The aluminium-effect finish resists corrosion better than bare metal but can still scratch or fade over time. Replace the flap if it does not close securely or if the hinge has excessive play.
