Volkswagen Fuel Tank Cap - 5C0-201-550E

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.

Love the product. It was a direct fit for my VW GTI MK6. The main thing I like is that it had the "stem" included so that I could plug it into the stock hole to allow the cap to remain attached to the vehicle and not have to either hold the cap or find a place to put it while fueling up the vehicle.

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… 🤨

Perfect fit! Didn’t have any damage or dents to it when delivered. Exact model that I needed and helped with the engine light signal! Completely went away after driving with it for a few miles. It let me know my old one was damaged. Worth the price. Quality is very good and easy to install! Recommend buying it!

Had a gas cap light come on my beetle and this replacement fits perfectly. Actually it’s identical to the original gas cap that came with the car.

I'm sure this is a fine gas cap. Looks to be well-built. But even though Amazon AND Volkswagen said it would fit our 2012 VW Jetta S 2.0L, it doesn't. It's simply too long to fit. I'd like to see somebody actually use it on a Jetta.I am returning it and will go buy one in person to make sure it's the right one. Sheesh, why does something SO simple have to be SO complicated?

I read all the horror stories about VW owners for models from the last 15+ years saying: "This does not fit my Jetta / Golf", etc. ( and wish that they at least told us what YEAR their VW was)....There seem to be soooo many models of gas caps out there for VWs of various years that it drives you crazy.......More often than not, they share the same 9 numbers/letters, and then the 10th letter is different (an "E" for this one, but there's also a "T" out there, I think....God only knows where it differs)....Anyway, the one that's been on my 2012 Jetta SE 5 cyl is the smaller white one in the pics....Don't know if it's OEM, since mine was a "certified used" car....It says "GERDES"...."2010" ....and "POM"....no VW part number on it, so I'm clueless as to its origin....Gerdes is a German company, so it probably is OEM...It's your typical spring-loaded cap that makes noise/clicks when you twist and tighten......All the sources indicated that this "5C0...E" was a correct fit for my 2012 Jetta, so I took a gamble....Turns out that it's fine....No clicks, just a quarter turn to take off / put on, and appears to provide a tight fit (Had an intermittent code pop up which I failed to read before resetting, but suspected my slightly broken gas cap was the culprit).....Anyway, owners of 2012 Jettas with a 5 cyl at least, rejoice.... this'll fit your car just fine. (Oh and a vote of confidence for seller too....a VW dealer in Neptune NJ, so it came to me in a day or two via USPS)
