Purpose and function of the fuel filler flap

The presented fuel filler flap is a body component responsible for covering the refueling neck and visually completing the side line of the vehicle. As a part from the Fuel filler flaps and accessories group, it works with the factory opening and closing mechanism, ensuring convenient access during refueling and protection against external contaminants.

Proper adjustment of the flap geometry to the wheel arch and side body panel allows for maintaining correct mounting gaps, which is important for both aesthetics and the proper operation of the hinge and latch mechanism.

Cranberry Red Metallic – A3R color and visual matching

The finish in the Cranberry Red Metallic - A3R shade allows for a consistent match with the body paint in the same color specification. Thanks to this, replacing a damaged flap does not require additional painting, provided that the other body elements are maintained in the same paint code.

The metallic structure of the paint coating provides a characteristic depth of color and improves visual integration with factory body panels, which is essential for post-accident repairs and restoring the vehicle to a condition close to the original.

Characteristics of the original Volkswagen component

As a Volkswagen brand part, the flap has been designed for full compatibility with the Golf Sportsvan body, maintaining factory dimensional tolerances. This means proper fitment with the fender socket, correct hinge operation, and accurate positioning relative to seals and internal components of the fuel filler area.

Its original origin translates into compliance with the manufacturer's service documentation, which facilitates identification and selection of parts based on factory markings, as well as integration with existing bodywork without the need for modifications.

Used condition and service application

The item is offered in used condition, which is a cost-effective solution for maintenance and post-accident repairs when the priority is to keep costs reasonable while maintaining the original vehicle specification. This type of part is suitable for both local repair of the fuel filler area and comprehensive reconstruction of the side body section.

Thanks to the preservation of the factory design, the flap can be mounted in place of the damaged element using standard mounting points, which reduces workshop labor time and limits the risk of fitment issues.
