Compatibility Overview

The cap’s design accommodates a broad spectrum of vehicles. Below is a concise compatibility snapshot, grouped by manufacturer and model series:

For precise fitment, consult the vehicle’s service manual or use the part number reference: 1J0201550A / 1H0201553B / 1J0201550AC / 1J0201550AN / 1J0201550AS / 1J0201550BF. These codes correspond to specific model-year combinations and ensure the cap aligns perfectly with the fuel filler neck.

Installation Guide

1. Preparation: Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface. Open the fuel door and locate the fuel filler neck.
2. Remove Old Cap (if applicable): If replacing an existing cap, gently twist counter‑clockwise to loosen it. Use a flathead screwdriver if resistance occurs.
3. Align the New Cap: Position the Febi Bilstein Fuel Cap 27288 over the filler neck, ensuring the retention band sits snugly against the tank’s lip.
4. Tighten Securely: Twist clockwise until the cap is firmly seated. The plastic should compress slightly to create a tight seal.
5. Check for Leaks: After refueling, inspect the area for any dripping fuel. If leaks appear, re‑tighten or replace if damaged.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect the retention band periodically for wear or cracks; replace if compromised.
• Avoid using harsh chemicals on the cap surface to preserve its integrity.
• Store spare caps in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
