Hello all,

I have a mk7 Titanium and I think I may have broken my easy fuel port (port?), I was filling my car from an awkward angle and I heard a distinct click when I was taking the nozzle out. I don't quite remember how it looked before but the silver plate which stops you entering the wrong nozzle into the car is now only covering 80% of the hole, and I can enter my finger and easily push it aside as it its become detached.

Should I be able to open the fuel port with my finger with practically no effort? and if the fuel tank requires a perfect seal is it safe to drive?

I'm going to take it to my garage asap but I have a very long journey tomorrow and I'd like to check its safe to drive.

Cheers,

Chris

Anything to do with the fuel seal mate is worth checking out.

I remember seeing in the handbook not to tilt the petrol nozzle at an angle like with other cars.

The nozzle has to be almost flat for it to go in and make that weird air compressor noise.

You may have damaged it slowly over time this way

Either way check it out ASAP mate, even if you slightly unsure. Rather be safe than sorry :)
