Product Information

Volkswagen Fuel Hoses and Lines diagram for Golf R, GTI

A fuel filler housing is the enclosure surrounding the fuel filler neck, typically located behind the fuel door. It provides a secure mounting area for the fuel cap and filler tube while protecting the refueling area from dirt, moisture, and debris. The housing also ensures proper alignment of the fuel nozzle during refueling and often integrates a tether or holder for the fuel cap. Over time, it can wear out or become damaged due to frequent use, corrosion, or impact.

• Physical damage – cracks, broken mounts, or misalignment around the fuel door or filler neck.
• Rust or corrosion – especially in metal housings, leading to weakened structure or fuel cap fitment issues.
• Fueling difficulties – loose fitment, cap not sealing properly, or nozzle not seating correctly, sometimes triggering the check fuel cap light.

About Genuine VW

The Volkswagen Group, also known as “VAG”, consists of Volkswagen, Audi, Lamborghini, Bentley, Bugatti, Porsche, Ducati, MAN, Scania, SEAT, and Skoda. The original parts used by VW to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine VW” brand. Manufactured under the direction of VW, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are available exclusively through the VW Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your VW are not necessarily manufactured by VW. No cause for concern, as VW designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for VW for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine VW parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a VW logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming directly from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
