Peugeot 206 lx fuel cap replacement

Question

how do i replace my peugeot 206 petrol cap for a new one? the standard one has an inbuilt lock!?

Answer 1

the only way..... braking the cap

start drilling the lock first, maybe you can release the lock and you can take out the cap

or... with a large pliers start braking the cap, piece by piece

Answer 2

Hi, it is unclear what you are trying to do, possibilities including:

1) you have lost the fuel cap key and can't open it

2) you have lost the fuel cap

3) you want to put on an aftermarket fuel cap

for 1), ask your local locksmith if they can get the cap off and make a new key, or contact your peugeot dealer with your chassis number and ask if they can get you a replacement fuel cap key (or proceed with the other advice to break it out and then fit a second hand one - you may want to think about where you do this - crouched in a dark alley hiding behind the car, seems like a good way to get a visit from the local police!)

for 2), try to find a second hand fuel cap and key or purchase a new one (ouch?) (note that the cheap plastic push in caps that you can buy  do not pass the vehicle inspection where I am).

for 3), ask at the parts store for one that fits your car, if they don't have one listed for your specific car, try ones that are specified for other Peugeots or Citroens
