Re: Petrol cap

ive had this problem before, what u will have to do is get urself to a fiat garage and buy a new cap about £15, but the only problem is, is getting your old locking barrel out and putting it in the new cap, you will have to cut open your old cap, and some were on the barrel there is an E clip u have to remove.

Re: Petrol cap

The locking petrol cap is an easy fix guys!! Go to fiat and buy a new black one. Dismantle the old cap by snapping the clip and take out the barrel and refit into the new cap. make sure when you pull out the barrel the key is in it twisted if possible.. Its the ratchet mechanism in the cap that fails.. Put some oil in the lock also

told those idiots on that other site how to do this one
