SOrchard Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 I've noticed that the push-to-open fuel cap on my MK7 is getting a bit stiff and seems to have moved slightly so that it catches the edge furthest away from the hinge. Is it adjustable in anyway or is it about to break or fall off? Also, though not a problem, one of the diesel nozzles in Tesco in Rugby wouldn't go in, making me think that maybe some light fingered so and so had been at it and bent it, the filler that is, not the pump! It's not happened since at different pumps so it's probably a rouge one or something... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougal Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 The filler cap is flimsy and does not fit as it did when new. The filler neck is also abysmal. More often than not the delivery of fuel is severly hampered. You just get used to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iNath Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 The filler cap catching is a known fault and Ford's fix is to cut of the top latch For the filler itself, can you open it using the funnel/adaptor in the boot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartynS Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Just diving in here, but nice one with that image - mine sticks as well and doesn't spring open when pressed so it looks like I have a fix now . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOrchard Posted December 13, 2011 Author Share Posted December 13, 2011 Cheers iNath. I'll try that next time I see the car in daylight! As to the filler, it was only that one pump as far as I can tell, it worked fine at a different filling station. I did think about using the filler adapter, but only after I'd driven off in a huff!

orcomma Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 The filler cap catching is a known fault and Ford's fix is to cut of the top latch sounds about right- if in doubt, slice it off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
