Review on πŸ”’ [2 Pack] RKX Gas Cap Replacement Seal Fuel for Volkswagen Audi VW mk4 mk5 mk6 B5 b6 b7 b8 Petrol - Superior Quality and Easy Installation by Jacob Diego

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The gasket is thicker and more flexible than the factory rubber gasket.

This seal really fits VW/Audi gas caps. Instead of paying $40-90 for another genuine VW gas cap, simply replace your old gasket with this quality gasket and forget about it. I did this for my nephew's 2007 VW Jetta, which had the infamous P0457 CEL on its dash. When we scanned it right away, the explanation was a slow EVAP leak in the emission control system. All the codes point to checking the gas cap first and indeed the rounded edge of the gas cap was bone dry and the gasket was also dry and cracked. A sure sign that this was the cause, even though we hand-tightened the gas cap. The code came back a few hours after the reset, so this was the only fix to the problem without the added expense of a new gas cap, which met the same fate a few years later. This is especially true in colder climates where rubber and plastic eventually fail after several cold winter seasons. I hope this information will help others to make the right decision.
