diesel fuel cap

Post by ginger »

Can anyone tell me were I can get a diesel fuel cap to fit my 1982 vw rabbit that will work? Is there other years that will work?

I have one that is threaded if that is what you have. I have seen numerous styles of after market caps on these cars. Just have to take a look at the parts places.

I purchased a replacement one years ago for my 82 Rabbit. Just got one from the parts store. It was the quarter turn style.
Everybody else lists their cars here - but not me.

I have too many to count
