  • Whats this on the fuel filler.

    Put some diesel in the car today and noticed a little black cap to the left of the fuel cap---seems to be a little switch with a rubber cap on---anyone got any idea what it is---here is a photo-----Thanks DaveClick image for larger version

          Hello Dave,it looks like a micro switch within a rubber cover,when you press it it sounds just like one---when you close the fuel flap it connects onto this---was just wondering what it was---and I don't have add blue with mine-----Thanks Dave

                  looks like it's part of the 'central locking' system,

                  you lock your car and the pin pops out to engage into a recess on the fuel cap..thus locking it..

                  and if memory serves the bit with the rubber top on is also activates the alarm if the fuel cap is forced open.
