Fsi B20 Fuel Cap

Has anyone experienced the fuel cap on a Fsi B20 not fitting properly? It used to be ok, it's not had that much use and now the petrol sloshes out. It seems that it shakes loose slightly (like 1cm of turn), and whilst it is still tight down to the tank, it still has that little bit of play on the turn. If that makes sense!

 

I tried fitting a large rubber washer under the original thinking it may have got compressed or that it might help, but it didn't make any difference.

 

Dealer has said a new one is around £30, but I don't feel like buying a new one if it won't sort the problem. The machine will be over a year old but probably only goes out once every couple of weeks.

 

Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this?

 

Thanks.

Hi Ty,

 

With mine it seems that if it's cranked tight then it doesn't leak, but it's too easy for it to travel back. Only takes a few seconds of grinding and it's turned back a little not hard tight. Not sure if it should be hard tight or if the design has some play in it to breathe etc? It's not loose enough to come off, just a cm or so of travel.
