## Description

Volkswagen Genuine Fuel Cap. 5C0-201-550-E It is important to check with the seller before purchase. Either contact your local dealership, or contact the seller to verify this cap fits your vehicle. VERY IMPORTANT

Review: Fits my 2007 VW Jetta 2.5 despite desertcart stating that it doesn’t - I’ve had the normal fuel cap warning light, then engine warning light issue that plagues many an older VW owner. Looked up a replacement cap as this solves 95% of the issues, but the ones shown were completely different to my OEM installed cap. Even the VW part website show a different cap than was installed. The one I have is supposed to be for a different vehicle. Anyway, got tired of hunting through the web and online forums and took a chance on this one that looks correct. It works! Only issue I had and the only thing I can see that is different on this to mine is that this comes with a little push in grommet in the strap, whereas on my car there’s a little tab built onto the area around the fuel flat. Or rather there was, until I broke it off thinking it was the same as this with the little grommet and I tried to pull it out. Don’t do this and you’ll be fine… 🤨

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fits well my Golf 2013
*by S***M on 30 October 2024*

It fit well in my 2013 Golf, I just had to make a small hole to secure it since it's a little different than the 2013 Golf one. But it perfectly sealed the fuel tank and the fuel tank cap light disappeared. Really worth it and it's good quality.
