Does anyone know if the fuel flap has a holder
for the fuel cap as I can't work it out? any other car
I've had has a fuel cap holder so surely the Up! must have to?

The Lupo's and NB remain attached on a piece of rubber string

Is it not the same in the Up? I'm bound to put it somewhere safe never to be found again

There are a couple of notches on the fuel cap which allow you to attach it to the edge of the outer filler cap cover. It seems a bit of a clumsy design but it works.

Please be very careful when taking pictures of open petrol fillers. The use of flash could cause a spark to ignite the petrol tank and there'd be an explosion.

Well I've just filled up with petrol and what do you know! The cap sits on the flap! Only had the same car for 11 years and the other be for three years and never knew

Just let it dangle on the rubber stringy bitEdited by: bugbabe34

Glad I'm not the only one who never knew about cap holders!! I thought that was what the rubber bit of hose was for and have always just let the cap dangle....education is a wonderful thing

Hmmm, I never knew that either! Is it a female thing do you think? Or are we just a dopey trio

Nope I'm a male and I didn't know this, until now I have been a 'dangler' as it were

 

[bugbabe34]

Makes me feel better than I'm not the only one. Hubby knew, daughter didn't (she's only been driving for just shy of two years tho!)

 

[Mumski1]

Well I don't belive it

just read this out to my son having now got my up and had to polo's previous he could'nt belive I did'nt know this ......yep female thing, I alo thought it just dangled

 

[whassup]

I've had VWs for years...they've all had it..........they also supply a manual that tells you all these clever things

 

[Mumski1]

Well some of us !!!OK maybe me

do not read the manuel that comes with the car as we just like to get out there and enjoy it, and if we get petrol in it who cares where thecap hangs

But have my trusty book to hand but no where does it say "CHECK SUNROOF FOR LEAKS"
