Benefits And Application
Direct replacement for damaged, corroded or scratched fuel flap covers. The part provides a factory fit and finish, ensuring correct alignment and gap tolerances. Commonly sought under product numbers 9682803080 and 1517G9, it is a frequently replaced body item after minor collisions, parking scrapes or paint damage. Using the correct color code (KWE) ensures minimal blending or repainting when replacing a single panel.

Installation Recommendations
- Prepare the vehicle on a flat, stable surface and protect surrounding panels from scratches with appropriate covers.
- Open the fuel flap and inspect the hinge and locking mechanism. Depending on version, remove the inner wheelarch liner or access panel to reach mounting screws or clips.
- Carefully remove any retaining clips or screws and disconnect the locking actuator or wiring if the fuel flap is fitted with a central locking mechanism.
- Fit the new cover, check alignment and gap, then secure fasteners. Reconnect the actuator/wiring and test the opening/closing and locking function before reassembling trim panels.
- If repainting is required, use the exact color code KWE (Pearl White) and follow standard paint preparation and curing procedures to achieve a factory-quality finish.
- Use appropriate trim tools to avoid damaging surrounding paint and plastic. If unsure, have the replacement performed by a professional body shop or experienced technician.
Why The Part Fails
Fuel filler cap covers most commonly need replacement due to external damage and wear. Typical causes include:
- Minor collisions or parking impacts that dent or crack the flap.
- Corrosion Around The Hinge Or Mounting Points, Especially In Regions With Road Salt.
- Paint Damage From Scrapes Or Stone Chips Leading To Rust Or Delamination.
- Broken Hinge Springs Or Clips From Age And Repeated Use.
- Failure Or Misalignment Of The Locking Actuator (If Equipped), Which Can Cause The Cover To Sit Incorrectly.
Practical Tips
- Always compare part numbers (9682803080 / 1517G9) and paint code (KWE) with the vehicle before installation to ensure correct match.
- When replacing only the outer cover, inspect the filler neck housing (stock code 1518E2) for hidden damage—replacing both items may be required after impacts.
- Keep photographic documentation of alignment before removal to simplify refitment and achieve correct gaps.
