About part number 39167574

A fuel filler flap housing and actuator forms part of the fuel system bodywork around the filler neck. It secures the outer fuel door to the wing of the vehicle, housing the release mechanism and central locking actuator that locks or unlocks the flap alongside the rest of the vehicle. When the system works correctly, the flap opens smoothly when pressed or released and locks securely when the vehicle is locked.

To ensure this is the correct component for your vehicle, you must match the part number directly. Check the housing for the stamped number 39167574. You may also find alternative references on the plastic casing or actuator, including 39167575 or D5131.01. Matching these numbers exactly is the only way to confirm correct fitment.

These units are usually replaced due to electrical failure in the locking motor, snapped plastic hinges, or damage from forced opening. When replacing this assembly, you may also need replacement trim clips, fixings, or the rubber sealing gaiter that surrounds the fuel neck to prevent water ingress into the wing cavity.

  • Part type: Fuel Flaps & Components.

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.

What to look for in the photographs

A Part number — Stamped or on a label on the inner face, often under the hinge.
B Hinge — Whether the hinge is included and whether it is straight. A bent hinge is why most flaps no longer sit flush.
C Spring or damper — The mechanism that holds the flap open or shut. It is often what has failed, and it is sometimes a separate part.
D Inner face — The back of the flap, where water sits and where corrosion starts on a steel one.
E Outer surface — Look across the face at a shallow angle. A crease or a dent in a flat panel this small is invisible in a straight-on photograph.
