About part number 9812916680

A fuel tank filler flap cover is an exterior body panel located at the rear of the vehicle. It covers the fuel cap and filler neck, protecting the fuel inlet from dirt, water and debris while keeping the bodywork flush. When working correctly, it opens smoothly to allow refuelling and latches securely flush with the surrounding rear wing when closed.

To ensure this part is correct for your vehicle, you must match the manufacturer part number 9812916680. On a component of this type, the part number is usually stamped or moulded directly onto the plastic or metal casing on the inner face of the flap. Matching this exact part number is the only way to confirm it will fit, as vehicle models and years alone do not guarantee compatibility.

This part is in a black finish and is typically replaced due to accidental impact, damage to the hinge mechanism, or snapped mounting clips caused by forced opening. When fitting a replacement cover, you may also need replacement plastic mounting clips, a release cable, or a latch spring mechanism if the original fittings were damaged during failure or removal.

About this kind of part: fuel filler flaps

A fuel filler flap is the small painted door over the filler neck, with its hinge and usually a spring or a damper behind it. On an electric or a hybrid car the same part covers the charging socket and is often larger and electrically released. It is painted to match the body, which is why it is replaced far more often than it fails: the flap sits where people lean, and it is one of the few painted parts a careless hand touches every week.

Why people replace one

• The flap has been creased or dented, usually by being pushed shut against the filler cap or by a knock at a pump.
• The hinge has broken or the spring has failed, so the flap no longer stays shut or no longer stays open.
• The paint has faded or the lacquer has lifted, which shows badly because the flap sits in the middle of a large flat panel.
• The release mechanism or the electric actuator has failed and the flap no longer opens from inside the car.
• A rear quarter panel has been repaired and the original flap was damaged in the process.

Fitting it

• Most flaps unbolt from the hinge inside the filler recess, sometimes with the hinge as one assembly and sometimes as a separate part.
• On a car with an electric release, the actuator and its loom stay with the car and the flap comes off on its own.
• The seal or the foam around the recess is worth checking at the same time, because it is what stops water collecting in the bottom of it.
• A flap is supplied in primer or in the colour it was sprayed when new, and a matching finish needs the paint code from the car's own identification plate.

Making sure it is the right one

• Match the part number. A petrol or diesel flap and a charging flap for the same model are different parts, and so are the versions before and after a facelift.
• Check whether yours comes with the hinge. Some models sell the flap alone and some sell it as an assembly, and the hinge is often the part that broke.
• Compare the curvature against your own panel. A flap is pressed to the shape of one body line and will not sit flush in another.
• Treat a painted used flap as a starting point for colour rather than a match, because it has aged with the car it came off.
