Fuel Tank Cap Wire, Fuel Cap Retaining Strap 2 Parts Fuel Tank Cap Line Wire Tether Ring Replacement for XF 2008 to 2015

Easy to fit.

Fits my 2013 Jag XF very well. Knocked a star off because it doesn't spin around the fuel cap when you turn the cap, so it's a bit of a faff at the pumps. Moon on a stick, he wants!

According some searching this should be compatible with the fuel cap for a diesel Jaguar XE, which is what I used it for. The ring is slightly larger than the original but works perfectly well. It's easy to fit and easily described on the internet.

Does the job. This part often fails on an XF. Easy to fit. Quick delivery

Probably th ehardest part was getting the broken piece out of the fuel filler before fitting this. To fit the retainer to the cap I used a large flat blade to prise the yellow part away from the black part to allow the old tether ring to be removed and the new one fitted before clipping back together again. However, it's probably easier to fit the tether to the hinge of the filler flap first and then fitting the cap to the tether to avoid having weight dangling whilst fitting.

The original fuel cap tether is a plastic ring that fits into the fuel cap and allows it to turn when undoing and replacing the fuel cap. This item is rubber (not wire) and does not allow the cap to rotate freely, so the rubber tether twists into an awkward shape. Not nearly worth the money and not as described (no wire). Not sure it will last very long. Disappointed.

Review of Akozon fuel filler retaining strap for Jaguar XF 2008-2015.This is fine provided you are OK with doing minor jobs on your car. You'll need to be able to get the old ring off and this one. It's not bad, but there are no instructions (hence 4 stars).You can try searching for e.g. "powerfuluk xf fuel filler strap" and will find some instructions in a video. You may wish to consider giving custom to that company since they bothered to do this and there's not much in it cost wise.The overall rating of this seems a bit unfair given that one review is for someone trying to use on a VW (although they fairly gave it 4 stars) and another is for someone with an XE (not an XF) who gave it one star for not fitting (duh?).There's a review from abroad which says that the part they received did not match the pictures. I think that may have just been a packing error or the seller switched suppliers at some point. The one I got was a match.Both the ring and the retaining strap are flexible and slightly stretchy rather than rigid plastic. The pin wasn't identical to the original (sorry I binned before thinking to take a picture), but close enough.

Bought this because the one on the Car was broken when I bought the car dead easy to change just used a Flat Blade Screwdriver around the edge between the Black and Yellow Plastic and prised up gently replaced the old one then Pushed the Two bits of Plastic together took 10 minutes to do
