That bit with the sticky-out tab (nearest the front) goes into the bit at the back of the cap. :)

That's the wee bit I'm missing. Has been like that since I bought the car and was told about it before purchasing.

 

I can still put petrol in the thing but before I had the thing for wedging under the pull release my front passenger did not enjoy having to stretch over to keep it pulled. :rofl:

I get that bud like I say I was having to go into the boot and pull the release cable every time before filling up looked well dodgy lol.

Any luck getting the metal 'springy thing' yet, Ryan, or still waiting for it? :)

Oops, I meant to put a post up to say that it's arrived from @@Lee on the continent a few weeks ago. I'm currently waiting for a time when it's warmer before I can do anything. I have so many jobs riding on that one warm Tuesday in July that we get here for "Summer". :D

I haven't no, Lee. Unfortunately, it looks like I'll have to replace the entire shroud thing - if possible - as mine is pretty chewed up looking. Not happy about that. Contacted a breakers on eBay that had a 9892 (my paint code) bumper in stock but they didn't have the cap and shroud thing. :rolleyes:

☹️

Hi there I have the same issue, the cable had fallen out but the metal clip thing you guys have found is missing on my fabia so it closes but doesnt open, would anyone be able to help me source the part? Cheers 😁

Hello all! Just bought a 2004 Skoda Fabia 1.9 TDI, did anyone find that metal clip for sale? The link is broken, I think I also need the silicone part which goes around the petrol cap
