Installation Recommendations
- Prepare Work Area: Park the car on a flat surface and secure it. For easy access, open the filler flap and, if required, remove interior trim panels near the wheel arch or boot to reach hinge fasteners.
- Removal: Unscrew or unclip the hinge fasteners from inside the wheel-arch or trunk area. Carefully release the retaining clips for the lock/latch if they are present. Retain all screws and clips for reinstallation.
- Transfer Items: If the old flap contains the lock cylinder, striker, or alignment shims, transfer these components to the new cover to ensure correct operation and security.
- Installation: Align the hinges and loosely fit fasteners, then check gap and closing action before fully tightening. Adjust hinge position or shims for flush fit and consistent panel gaps.
- Final Steps: Confirm that the fuel filler door opens and closes smoothly and that the lock engages correctly. Clean surrounding paint and check color match under natural light.
Why The Part Fails
Fuel filler covers are commonly damaged by minor impacts (parking bumps, fuel pump collisions) and by vandalism. Repeated forced opening or a seized hinge can deform the flap or damage the latch. Corrosion around hinge points or wear to the locking mechanism may prevent proper closing. Paint chips and scratches from nozzle contact or abrasions are frequent reasons for replacement when aesthetics are a concern.
Practical Tips
- When replacing a painted flap, check the paint code (EZW) to ensure the closest possible color match; professional color correction or blending may be required for a showroom finish.
- Keep all original fasteners and transfer the lock cylinder if security is required; replacing the lock may need coding only on electronic systems—this part is mechanical in most 307s.
- Search by Part Numbers: Use 9643554477 and 151788 when searching catalogs or ordering to speed up identification and improve the chance of correct part selection.
