Purpose and function of the fuel filler flap

The fuel filler flap in the Audi A4 B8 / A5 8T is responsible for protecting the fuel filler neck from dirt, moisture, and mechanical damage. A properly selected component ensures:

• maintenance of the fuel filler area seal,
• protection against corrosion around the fuel cap,
• stable mounting relative to the body and hinge,
• a visually consistent appearance of the side of the vehicle. Thanks to the use of an original flap dedicated to specific Audi generations, the correct geometry, body lines, and proper fitment with the fender and bumper are maintained.

Dolphin Grey Metallic – X7Z color

The presented flap is finished in Dolphin Grey Metallic – X7Z, used as a factory standard in selected Audi A4 B8 and A5 8T configurations. This means:

• compliance with the factory paint code for this color variant,
• a metallic surface effect, matched to the rest of the bodywork,
• the possibility of installation without the need to change the shade in the fuel filler area (provided the same paint code is on the vehicle). Selecting a flap in the same color significantly shortens the repair time of the paint coating and limits the need for additional painting of the component.

Product characteristics and installation

The offered flap belongs to the Fuel filler flaps and accessories group, which means it has been designed to work with the factory hinge mechanism and the opening system in the Audi. The component is prepared for installation in place of the original flap, maintaining:

• the factory shape and bending radii,
• the appropriate thickness of the metal or plastic (depending on the body version),
• compatibility with the standard opening and closing mechanism. Due to the used nature of the part, this is a cost-effective solution while maintaining the original vehicle manufacturer's specifications.

Selection by part numbers and fuel system

When replacing the fuel filler flap, it is worth paying attention to compatibility with the specific body version and paint code. If you have any doubts regarding the selection of components in the refueling area, a guide on the fuel system, diagnostics, and identification of parts by OEM and VIN numbers may be helpful – you can find it in the article Fuel system – injectors, pumps, and fuel tank: maintenance and regeneration.

Complementary elements and expanding the filler area

If you are planning a comprehensive repair or upgrade of the fuel filler area in your Audi and need other elements from the same group, such as additional covers, shields, or accessory mounting elements, check the available parts in the Audi fuel filler flaps and accessories category. To maximize the potential of dismantled parts and limit future wear, it is worth familiarizing yourself with practical maintenance tips – they are described in the guide How to extend the life of used car parts?, which discusses, among other things, the principles of operating body components and their protection against corrosion.

Summary

Audi A5 8T A4 B8 Fuel Filler Flap Tank Cap Cover Dolphin Grey - X7Z is an original, used flap in the dedicated Dolphin Grey Metallic – X7Z color, allowing for a technically correct and aesthetic replacement of a damaged component.
