cap

Hi all I've got a 2002 1.6 16v with 40,000 on the clock. I opened the engine oil filler cap last week and was shocked to see a yellow gunk and water droplets on the underside and on the filler lip. :( Car was last serviced in December, so pretty confident it wasn't there before then...

Filled up with fuel at lunchtime today, and when I took the nozzel out of the tank I noticed that the metal valve at the top of the tank (the bit where you stick the nozzel through) was missing :confused: I suspect that its got pushed down the pipe into the tank? Does anyone know if this will...

FYI in case it happens to you... Had the AA out last week cos the fuel filler cap didn't open when I pressed the switch on the centre console. Turned out that the connections to the filler cap solenoid had come loose. You can access the fuel filler cap solenoid by removing the panel that...
